Paddington Bear eats marmalade sandwiches NOT marmite ...

25 Sep 2008

This subject has been bugging us for a while,that now it has got to the point that we need to rant about it,thinking back to our childhood memories we can remember watching paddington bear pop his MARMALADE sarnies under his hat and toddle off out for the day,shock horror now he eats marmite this is just sooooooo wrong, personaly not a big fan of marmite but that is besides the it does get you thinking what other childhood memories have been highjacked and changed for the worst,for example marathon not snickers,opal fruits not fruit burst,maybe we should get out more lol,still there you go rant over feel better now,be gentle we have never posted a thread before lol,speak soon,from a much more chilled out Kat and Neil xxxxxx

Marmalade or Marmite is the problem here, the thing is how did he end up in Paddington station from Peru, the bear doesn't have a passport. So how did customs not notice him???? :haha: :haha: :haha: :haha: :haha: :haha: :haha: :haha:

thanks for your response bjandbear,the problem is paddington eating marmalade sarnies not marmite,may be back in those days customs were not as hot as they are today,there again peeps still get in this country today with no passport so did he hop on a lorry and smuggle himself in.........the plot thickens hummmmmmmmmmthe bays xxxxxxxx

Hmm! We've thought long and hard about this sexy bays ... It seems to us the fascists in TV land have used artistic licence in substituting marmalade for marmite. We think it must be the same person respnsible for the demise of the Rileys toffee roll and is just the sort of liberty taking that induces uncontrolled rage among the masses ....... oh dear! I've just realised I'm late in taking me mental pills :crazy: bolt

Am i the only cynical one blink

that thinks that maybe the change from marmalade (that traditional and rather lovely, safe english conserve:lick: ) to marmite (the product about which many are far from ambivalent mad

eye: ) may be a marketing gimmick? If product placement is alive and well with Paddington Bear then nowhere is sacred :upset:

... and Dettox became Dettol and Immac became Veet Oh bugger, I may have been one of the marketing people who made those happen. :doh: But take pity on me...I have to pay my SP subs somehow. And at least I didn't play any part in Marathon becoming Snickers. However, I am in total agreement - Paddington Bear eating Marmite...that is just WRONG :doh:

Although Paddington now lives in London, England, he originally came from Darkest Peru where he was brought up by his Aunt Lucy after he was orphaned following an earthquake when he was just a few weeks old. When Aunt Lucy went to live in the Home for Retired Bears in Lima, she decided to send him to England to live. After teaching him to speak English she arranged for him to stow away in a shipâ€™s lifeboat.
