Can't wait to get cheaper spiders in the EU.

Australian spiders don’t make as good Fryders as NZ ones but beggars can’t be choosers.

Lol, there's not a chance in hell I'll ever press that link. But I'm horrified at the concept.

Ok sure some of these luxury items will be more affordable, right now that fuel shortages are guaranteed to increase the price of absolutely everything you are lucky to still find.

Does that mean I can buy marmite at a shop someday? Always seemed fun to try tht stuff.

Marmite is from the UK. Vegemite is the Australian version.

Is one better than the other? Inspired by a men at work song to have a sandwich.

No idea, never tried Vegemite. Can't imagine it being very different though.
