Simon,
Nice logo design http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/cool.gif Simple, to the point, relays the message effectively. I can even imagine a more elaborate version which displays the design element in a "blue foil" with additional detail to accentuate the "printed circuitry" motiff. Nice work.

Let's be getting this right, half of British people cannot stand the stuff! Unfortunately, my girlfriend loves it, and I could not hate it more.

Hey! I'm an American, and I LOVE the stuff... actually, I'm more a Vegemite fan, but Marmite is OK too, but a little less intense on the flavor.
I know, I know, I'm odd... I was adopted, so maybe there's some Australian in my blood...???

Marmite's taste is difficult to describe, but here goes: it's intensely savoury (not unlike concentrated gravy) and salty. That's why it's best eaten thinly spread on bread or toast, with or without butter. In appearance Marmite is dark brown, shiny and slightly transparent, with the consistency of molasses.
It can also be diluted in boiling water to make "Marmite tea" for invalids, and I often put a quarter teaspoonful of neat Marmite in dishes such as spaghetti sauce or chilli con carne to add a subtle "depth" to the flavour. Although Marmite is vegetarian, there is a beef equivalent called Bovril which tastes pretty similar and comes in a similarly shaped jar but with a red label.

To give you an idea of the significance of Marmite in the British national psyche, I did a search among members of a networking organisation to which I belong. 7 members(!) mentioned Marmite in their personal profile. Of those, 3 loved it, 3 loathed it and one worked on an advertising campaign for it!

Richard, just remember to spread it THINLY http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/eek.gif
I like it on lightly toasted fresh bread, over top of some English butter. It IS an acquired taste...
Simon, that idea of using it in spaghetti sauce sounds great!
