    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle.

    Nahhh marmiteicon, Bovril and other copy cats will never replace the vegemiteicon kids as I assure you eating that and plenty of black sand as an Aussie child growing up in the 50's made you Aussie tough, on hot toast lashings of butter and a good dollop of Vegemite you can then take on with GI Joe his worst enemies in your back yard with a bag of Aggits (marbles) a cardboard box to hide in and win always. I know because I was there.........

    Why just vegemiteicon? Why not limit the sale of all yeast containing products - bread, cake, the lot? Any yeast or yeast product can be used to produce an alcoholic brew when combined with sugar substances (fruit, etc.) and water.

    Why do I know this? My Dad told me he and his mates did it during WWII.

    This type of legislation proves beyond doubt today's politicians will pander to the lowest common denominator in society. What could be next?

    You just can't fix stupid!
    Why use a 50 pound bomb when a 500 pound bomb will do?

    And the rest of the world wonders why Aussies use their teeth as bottle openers and wrestle crocodiles!!! :mad smile:

    Had the unpleasant opportunity to try Zout candy once. Take a tablespoon of salt, add a dash of decomposing flesh juice and that will give you an idea of the taste.

    You lot who don't like vegemiteicon simply don't know how to eat it. You don't slather it on bread or toast like bl**dy jam or marmalade. Try a Vegemite and cheese sandwich that is always a hit. A word to the wise for the North American audience: Australianicon sandwiches are made with butter or (better yet) "Meadowlea" margarine and NOT mayonnaise.

    You'll have no luck at Outback Steakhouse. Outback Steakhouse is about as Australianicon as Pizza Hut is Italianicon. While I can find vegemiteicon at a particular local market, our local "Pommie shop" and World Market you might have to go to Amazon.com for it. ( Amazon.com: vegemite: Grocery Gourmet Food )

    If you do shop at Amazon.com you might want to try Tim Tams as well. Coffee drinkers like to bit off two diagonally opposing corners and sip their coffee through the Tim Tam. Being a tea drinker - not a coffee drinker, I can only take their word for it that it is fantastic.
