The massive Marmite mess on the M-1 Motorway (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-15933599) made me spring into action. Joined the hundreds prompted to do the same, with some very funny puns etc and posted my thoughts on several newspaper 'comment' sections. And of course gave the book a plug, referring readers to Amazon and The Book Depository. To which The Guardian (despite me thanking it for the chance to do a bit of PR) reacted violently! They not only deleted the message they 'banned' me from the comment site, telling me: Comment privileges for this account have been disabled.
Meanwhile a rather dubious 'joke' about two nuns and a cucumber, or was it a piece of soap (not sure where the Marmite came in) was allowed to stay! I tell you, how can so many have so much fun over one mighty product......

Meet the Artist
"Toasty" Cover Artist
Rex Aldred bills himself as a "craftsman artist." He's a talented painter, photographer and potter with ideas that, when translated artistically, invariably end up with a distinctively off-the-wall but charming look. Like his latest venture: three-sided plates and dishes. Suffolk born, he worked - while raising two daughters as a single parent - as a BT engineer. When they were grown he quit work to walk from Ipswich round the coast of Britain. He got as far as Whitby, fell in love with the historic fishing town -- as well as his now wife Mo -- and stopped his journey.

ReplyDeleteAnd a week later this heavy punishment for a mild offence is still in place! Have a feeling it will get a mention in you-know-what!
