Birthday Wishes for a Danish Boss
|

Dear Colleagues,
My boss �s birthday is coming and I really want to send him a really unique wish, but nothing appears in my mind. Anyone can help me? He is a Danish boss. Thanks in advance.

Funny- you do know that marmite is banned in Denmark.
Ok apparently not really banned but something to do with it having too many vitamins or something so you need a special permit to sell it.

Bruce, we have been here before with marmite and you are a naughty boy for maligning it. You love it or you hate it, but you mustn �t try to influence people! I first tried it when I was 18 as we never had it at home. (I am sorry now that my mam and dad never had this pleasure). I was in hall at university, sitting at the breakfast table with five other students and this posh girl brought out her jar of marmite, to cries of �Eugh!! Yuck! Put it away! � Well, I tried the sticky black stuff and I thought �Wow, what a taste! � Since then, I �ve wanted to share it like a true evangelical.
Banned in Denmark???? I �m on my way with a truck load. Any Danes reading this - watch out for me, you are in for a treat, albeit an illicit one!  |

I have 5 x 500g jars of NZ marmite in my fridge - (I live in Sweden so stocked up on the last trip to London where I could visit the NZ shop) as well as 2 large jars of English marmite.
Oh the glory.
Should get me through to my next UK trip hopefully.
