I was wondering about the average sort of age of people using the site, and where in the world you all are!! What do people do for a living (when they arent on here!!).

I guess its only fair that I get the ball rolling!! I am (soon to be) 23, living in Aust with my hubby and two kids. I am a scientist (we're not all bad you know!!). C'mon now, dont be shy!! :)

I will be 50 next year,,,company director and qualified nurse living in Lincolnshire,,2 daughters one step daughter and a beautiful grandson,,

HI Only a Aussie would call it Vegimite, The English call it Marmite I think. I live in Sydney with my husband and we have been retired 10 year, Decided to do my family tree as most of our relations come from England and Scotland and the children(3) wanted to know about where they came from and who their ancestors were. I am finding it very interesting as I have found people I new nothing about. You meet the nicest people on this site, so that makes it all the more enjoyable. Mary in Sydney

Marmite??? Ick!! .... I think they are different?

Vegamite is from vegatable extract. Marmite is from meat extract. Hope this solves the difference problem. Deb

Thank-you Deb, now I know I can say Marmite is awful and vegemite is great without wondering if I'm being a complete dill!! Not quite the direction I was aiming for with this thread, but hey! its all good!!

Marmite is definitely NOT meat extract - it's yeast extract and is 100% vegetarian (it says on the jar). LOL Vegemite?? - Antipodean poor imitation! Marmite Lovers Support Group x P.S. I don't work and the kids have left home! Have you seen Paul's thread 'Who are you?' ??

NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooo! Vegemite, is, and always will be the superior brekky spread. Uh-uh, no, marmite is not better, yes, I know you think it is, but I must disagree.....I heard that!!! OK, back to the real question - who are all these wonderful people in cyber space that I am busy writing to for help in my quest for the elusive branches to my family tree?? :) The Vegemite is best and thats just the end of that converstation group - LOL!! I'm a happy little vegemite as bright as bright can be.........

We all enjoy are Vegemite, for breakfast lunch and tea etc etc etc. Grew up on Marmite untill we immigrated now vegemite rules. I dont work, kids are grown up, and i love Genealogy. Theresa from Melbourne

I am 76 and always have Vegemite on my toast for breakfast. I have a husband and two sons also 2 Grandsons and 2 Granddaughters. We came here from England in 1974 and we all loved it here from the start. Best wishes from Sylvia

Please check out Pauls thread Who are you I don't feel like typing it all out again. I will give it a nudge. I have nudged it it called whats your name are where do you come from.

MY MATE MARMITE!!! lol (We are all on Paul's thread - have a read.) We really wanted to fly across to Sydney when we were on holiday in NZ but we couldn't fit it in - perhaps we'll make it when we go again next year. Look forward to that. (even if it means I have to eat Vegemite lol) I would love to be near the bridge for New Year's Eve - my brother managed it a couple of years ago when he was over there for the cricket and said it was absolutely fantastic! Magsxx

I stand corrected. Marmite is: Yeast extract,salt,vegetable extract,niacin, spices. No mention of meat.

Sorry about the marmite controversy. Good for a laugh though. Mary in Sydney

I'm 21, and I live in Hampshire, England. But I was born in Kent (very proud of Gillingham Football Club DESPITE how rubbish they are doing right now). I have three older sisters, all of whom have left home. Caroline (eldest) is 30, married and living in Fishbourne, West Sussex. Claire is single (on and off, grrr she's so annoying!), aged 27 (soon to be 28) and works as an English teacher in North Carolina, USA. Andrea is married, aged 25 and has an almost one year old, Joseph. She lives in Sandhurst, Berkshire. I went to uni, I graduate on 18th November at Bristol Cathedral. I studied Psychology. I hope to get a masters in social work. I'm working until then though as a receptionist with a bunch of geriatrics that drive me around the bend! That's me! Chloe
