Now let me tell you a funny story about Vegemite and a couple of American lads.

Back in 1984 we drove up to Burleigh Heads in our Albion Double Decker Bus not only with Nerys, Tomos, Briony and Gwilym but with Heather a young American friend, we spent several weeks enjoying our beautiful country.   In a tent beside us at the campsite in Burleigh Heads were a couple of young American back packers, Chris and Tony.  While chatting the conversation turned to how much these boys hated Vegemite!  Well immediately 10 year old Tomos asked me to make my 'Crisps' (not mentioning the word Vegemite of course.)  I made my 'Crisps' and shared them with everyone.

Chris and Tony loved my 'Crisps' to which all the kids jumped up and down in excitement saying... 'You're eating VEGEMITE, You're eating VEGEMITE! 

Not long after we'd returned home Chris and Tony joined us and stayed for a week or more living in our Bus... the first thing they said was... do you have anymore of your Vegemite Crisps!!  Yay!

Chris, Briony, Nerys, Heather and David.
