Have you ever heard of Bovril? (39 replies)

Dumb question, but three members of staff in my local Sainsbury's had no idea what I was on about when I asked "Do you know where the Bovril is?" One bloke thought it was a new kind of toilet roll (bov-roll).

FFS am I getting really old or is Bovril so far off the mainstream these days that no-one knows what it is. They literally had no idea what I was talking about.

By the way, the staff I asked were all of English extraction - we're not talking eastern Europeans or people with Asian backgrounds, say. Then you could kind of forgive them for not knowing.
