We can’t tell you how mahooosively disappointed we were that we didn’t succeed in getting our faces shown live in the Marmite Oxford Street Christmas Lights ….. sadly ALL the (many) pictures we submitted were cruelly rejected ……
…. however, someone we know quite well managed to get herself emblazoned, and she said she didn’t even try that hard ….. it was a bitter pill to swallow ….. but in the end we feel that we have coped well with our thwarted blonde ambition!
But …. it was Granny G, knowing of our (hidden) sadness that bought renewed joy to our hearts ….. 
….. because, for Christmas, she gave us a real silver topped jar of our very favourite savoury spread of choice …. which goes perfectly with the Marmite spoon and spreader that Hugh gave Darrell on his last visit to romantic Notting Hill.
To say we feel posh, is a robust understatement, if we could, we would wear tiaras and ermine cloaks at breakfast, but that, we know, would be a little impractical.
But we are so awfully, awfully chuffed, yah, in a totally Tatler magazine type way!
After partaking in our breakfast, Darrell and I have decreed that it is Nigel’s job to polish the jar before we put it away, under lock and key, in our makeshift safe (namely, Darrell’s pocket cashbox). 
We have told him that he has to clean it until he can see his face clearly in it …. with no finger marks
Life is good! Now …. the icing on the Marmite cake would be for one (or all) of us to be the monthly faces of Marmite in 2013 ….. we have been unsuccessful so far …. but you never know …. we are working on it!!!

Every time they don't pick you guys is a scandal...
OH, My, what a beautiful silver lid on your Marmite jar, and 925 silver as well! Definitely needs extra security and worthy of your very best manners....Nigel is so very responsible with his duties, I know he will keep it shining like a mirror...some questions need to asked of those Marmite picture judges.....hummmm, one of those pictures looks so very familiar... must be a professional model; is that allowed?? ..Dianne
Oh good luck with your campaign. Sadly I think the fact that lesser monkeys have been used to advertise 'other products' might act against you there.
What a wonderful photo in Oxford Street. Not just 15 minutes of fame a-la-Andy-Warhol but a whole hour!
Well done. Mr and Mrs D are back in Mexico City!!!
