Why did they call a Marathon bar a Marathon, when it was Snickers elsewhere?
Marathon was developed here and then moved to the US where the name Marathon was already taken by a different choc bar. The US Marathon was advertised and packaged with a ruler on the pack "eat your way to a Marathon". In the late 80's Mars group decided they wanted to standardise their lines wordwide, so Marathon became Snickers worldwide a change for the UK and at the same time the Raider biscuit was re branded as per its UK name, Twix biscuit. fyp  |

I hate it when someone posts an opinion and then everyone else just quotes it rather than post something original.

isn't a 'like' button or a 'thumbs up/thumbs down' whatever kind of thing better than people straight out quoting and +1ing stuff though? It wouldn't stop that kind of thing anyway, and I don't think it'd made people lazy - those that love a good debate are still going to post their waffly old messages saying why they are right rather than just clicking a button.

Damian Hurst init.
I do agree, (assuming this is the art theft they've been talking about on the news). Saying that it's £33k's worth of art stolen is surely a subjective amount.

Because someone will pay it? One of my clients has a 30 foot square version in their office, doesn't do it for me. |

One of the most iconic pieces of art in a generation.
