I earlier recorded my horror and revulsion at the arrival upon our supermarket shelves of ‘Squeezable’ Marmite.

I used some fairly trenchant language, but I didn’t actually use the product itself, and consequently fell into a trap of my own making, a trap that might justly be labelled ‘Snares that await those who adopt a grumpy-old-man attitude.

No more unpleasant butter traces, no having to destroy the surface of your toast in futile attempts to ensure even distribution.
