Pleased to report that I am doing my bit to keep marmalade consumption up as I have it on my toast every morning. I don't like honey - it's too sweet.
I regret to inform you, but marmalade consumption continues to plummet in the UK.
Back in 1974 each adult, each week, ate on average 27g. It was a mere 4g in 2024 (down from 6g in 2023).
Honey, by contrast, has gone from 5g in 1974 to 9g last year.

Was this Grandee Williams or Grandee Pandy?

Very funny and ripped off by a scummy ad, not vice versa.
Gosh, after a seven year absence, my friend @dananddanfilms.bsky.social is back!

I mean - i'm thrilled that Dan is back, but i've never much liked Dan to be honest.
