They would have cleared it up quicker, but resources were thinly spread …

Alas, just brewer’s yeast — cubic meters of free Marmite will have to remain the stuff of my fantasies. Anyway, I did have a little trouble imagining Marmite spilling.

I suppose you could say this stretch of highway has been…*sunglasses* Marred.

Wonder exactly how many rounds of bread you’d need to mop up 23 tonnes of Marmite…….probably a couple more than one could ever hope to eat, but I would do my very best!

By any chance the driver wasn’t a small accident-prone bear, from Darkest Peru?

I do hope they send for soldiers to help with the clean-up.

A friend of mine, who has a friend who knows the someone who used to date the lorry driver, told me that the driver is a stooge for the Kraft Corporation.
