Sometimes, if I have too much butter on the knife after spreading my toast, I put it back in the tub even if it has toast crumbs all in it.

Probably because when I was young my mum told me her boarding school stories from the 50s, where they'd scrape the butter off all the dinner plates back into the bowl so there'd be bits of old dinner in it come breakfast.

Update on my thrilling congestion charge bailiff story : turns out the reason I heard nothing until now (8 months later) is because my car is still registered to the address I lived at 6 years ago. I had no idea updating your vehicle log book was even a thing (seeing as my licence is updated, and I'm on the roll here, and I've been paying vehicle tax from this address for the last four years, and it's never been mentioned during an MOT etc), so there's the lesson I'd like to share with you all : update your vehicle log book!

Flayer posted:All you need on toast is butter. Other toppings are luxury. Speaking of luxury, you can get the big jars of Marmite again. I can't put into words how great a thing this is. Even when our country is hosed there are still enough beer factory floor scrapings to make big jars of this poo poo. I also got a jar of the extra strong Marmite, but like moving up from codeine to morphine, will I be able to go back after? Answers on a postcard, please.

Yeah but squeezy marmite is discontinued so I have to use two butter knives to make a single piece of toast or risk marmite butter contamination. Extra strong marmite just tastes like super old marmite to me. Not a fan. Wife loves it though.

Perhaps controversial, but I prefer vegemite to marmite. Not a fan of his runny marmite is.

there's room in my heart for marmite, vegemite and bovril on toast but not necessarily at the same time gotta have some diversity in the slop you spread on toast imo

One thing I learnt during lock down is that the supermarket own brand marmite is just as good as actual Marmite, and considerably cheaper. Which is handy as my two year old loving loves the stuff.

Seriously it would be funny if it wasn't quite so horrifying that all of the outcomes of a JEMBLY NORBYC government that were so confidently predicted by our biggest brains are coming to pass - and of course there's literally no accountability for any of it because said big brains would rather crash the entire planet into the heart of the sun than admit they were wrong.
