Things get even more odd, when I discover a branch of Unilever churning out Bovril, with beef extract in it.

The only problem is that it is not in the he UK

[marquee]Breaking news - Beefy Bovril is coming back[/marquee]
Sorry to ressurect this topic, but this is breaking news

About time too, but some people may have got to like Veggie Bovril and I do not see why we can not have the three varieties, assuming they still do Chicken Bovril, of Beef, Chicken and Veggie.

BTW a Sunday newspaper has asked me to write a piece about the Bovril saga, which I have now e-mailed across so am now waiting to see if they like it.

Errr, I can't stand Bovril, it tastes like drinking Marmite.
But I like Marmite

Bumping this thread for two reasons


1) The original hosts, Beeb are pulling the plug on all Beeb websites so I had to move it to my blueyondersite here

2) I discovered I had been the subject of a blog back in February here

Fame at last
