Glad it was also saved. I heard it on the news, but seeing it written made it more real. I really lol at the Marmite, and Vegemite taste. We get both here, but as you say you have to have it as a child for some reason. It is great on toast.Thanks for your messages, and Halloween is not really celebrated in Australia, though there are signs about and if the shops can make money they will promote it.<BR/>In the past, I used to love to take my kids to see big bonfires on Nov.5th and then fireworks after.<BR/>Not any more, because the Summer fire risk is too great, so we have neither.
