    You know Leyland was turning a profit when in the early 80's the government of the day PAID them to shut down and lay off all their workers in aus....

    Ooooow, and it make me wonder....


    Perhaps you could provide some references to these momentous events.

    From the lower shelf under the woodworking books....

    It was also good for an OS. At least Primos (and presumable Multics)
    YES! The very book.
    PRIMOS = MEH. Might have been the machine itself, but. The PRIMOS did have one good security feature. When you logged in, the banner says
    "Hello user name, your last login was date and time." If it said last night at 2 AM, and you knew you didn't, you knew your login had been compromised.
    But then I was a Scope 3.3, OS8, RT-11 and RSX-11 nerd.
    LOL!

    OK, back on topic.

    Vegemite on English Muffin with margarine (Apologies to dairy farmers) and a slice of melted Swiss (with the holes) cheese.
    WOW! That was really good. I understand why school kids would really go for that.
    I think that I will save the half tube that is left for when SWMBO buys some white bread and have sandwiches. I mean why waste it for breakfast.

    Forum seemed to go to lunch about the time I posted. I got the "Do you want to leave" and I said cancel and reposted.

    For lunch yesterday I had a peanut butter, bacon, egg, and cheddar sandwich with Vegemite replacing my usual mustard. It was very good. LOML even liked it, and she doesn't like peanut butter.

    I forgot to try it in the last batch of brown rice and quinoa I made. My rice cooker died and I was preoccupied with adjusting the recipe to the new pressure cooker I bought as a replacement. Maybe next time.

    I don't think any of us have tried that sandwich!

    No-one seems to have mentioned my favourite: Crumpets buttered as soon as they come out of the toaster, then vegemite straight on so that it melts into the crumpet with the butter.

    Superb. Don’t have it often this way as our favourite crumpet topping is Golden Syrup, for our USA folks that is made from sugar cane.

    Two problems, Crunchie:
    • It is sacriledge to put a crumpet in a toaster. They can only be toasted in front of an open fire.
    • You cannot get crumpets in the USA.

    At a pinch, crumpets work fine in a sandwich maker.
