Let them eat Vegemite!

Posted by: Canny Granny on Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

Incredibly, the Chinese Government, not content with making a visit to China substantially more complex and unappealing, have placed a ban on Vegemite!

Not just vegemite of course, but muesli bars, weetbix and protein shakes intended for the consumption of our delicately strung sportsmen and women.

Can you believe this? Our athletes will be forced to eat only local food! Now, while we’re all used to fried rice and blackbean sauce, how can anyone be expected to perform without vegemite in the morning?

As soon as I heard the dreadful news that no food shipments could enter Chinese waters I sprang into action. I immediately phoned up my ladies from the local Red Hat branch.

We are, as you read this, packing food parcels to send to individual athletes. My neighbour has a stockpile of knitted vests and I have heaps of Anzac biscuits left from last week, they can go in too. Then we pack the bottom of the parcel with jars of vegemite (maybe a bottle of pine o cleen in case of accidents brought on by 5 spice duck).

They picked on the wrong people here. We will fight anyone for our right to vegemite on toast.

Bring it on!!!!!

Can you spare a dime for an old dame?
