Perhaps it is a barrel of monkeys. In any event, I'm with Jeremy, no matter who he struck. This, my favorite TG segment of all time, is why: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQh56geU0X8.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644036152805047632.post-85852637092655813782015-03-26T09:05:49.982-07:002015-03-26T09:05:49.982-07:00You've got it, a black, yeasty spread with a s...You've got it, a black, yeasty spread with a sharp, pungent taste. It's whole advertisement campaign is run on the fact that you love it or hate it. And yes, I'd be interested to hear Greg's views of Top Gear. I've never watched it either, so on that level it's no big deal to me whether it stays or goes. It's news management and hidden agendas that I'm sensitive too.Mike Keytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15116528233058221536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644036152805047632.post-28717800578791026992015-03-26T08:59:21.180-07:002015-03-26T08:59:21.180-07:00Marmite is some sort of food, isn't it?

So either it was unintelligent management - publically painting themselves into a corner they couldn't escape from, or ideology came into play. As I said, Jeremy Clarkson is Marmite with a capital M.<br /><br />(Do you know about Marmite? Have you heard of Top Gear/Clarkson?
