We had a distributor in Holland, but he was actually British, and he told me that it was really difficult to get Marmite in Amsterdam. So I offered to bring him some from England. As I came in through Customs, the Dutch official searched my bag, and found a large jar of Marmite. He asked me what it was. So I explained to him, showing him the list of ingredients on the label. He looked rather suspicious, and asked me to open the jar so that he could check inside it (ah, those innocent days when border officials were worried about drugs, not explosives). So I opened it up, and invited him to rummage around inside the jar. It was a very large jar. He sniffed at it, and decided not to bother. _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
