Earlier this week, a cleanup operation was under way after a tanker carrying more than 20 tonnes of Marmite (other yeast extracts are available from all good supermarkets) overturned on the M1 in South Yorkshire closing the motorway for some time.
A spokeswoman for South Yorkshire police said the tanker, which was carrying 23.5 tonnes of Marmite, overturned after being involved in a collision with a caravan.
Inevitably, jokes s-p-r-e-a-d thick and fast...
Radio 4's Today programme was bombarded with joke emails. The best, according to the presenters, read: "Was the Marmite crash on the yeast-bound carriageway?"
....Er no, it was on the M1. M1 doesn't go east you idiot!!
Next....
Radio stations were inundated with comedy comments alongside the puns flooding Twitter.
@Queen_UK (Elizabeth Windsor): "One hates marmite".
Well said marm!
