PB.

I used to go St Georges and York Hall regularly. Only stopped when I moved form Mile End to Bromley in 2011. 

Not much chance of going now as I live in Liverpool! 

Bovril at a cold night game in a shit northern town is delicious. 

Bovril = poor people's food.
Marmite = Poor people's food.

What's not to like about either?

Oh, and don't forget the exotic Vegemite for those brave enough to acquire enough air-miles to enjoy it in it's native habitat. Caviar for the populist masses that is, and make no mistake.

Whitechapel was where my school (Stepney Green) took us swimming. Didn't go St George's much though I lived on the Island early 80's. Got vague memories of Beckton lido as well.

Bovril or mug of tea with a couple of slices of doorstep toast, after swimming at Poplar Baths.
Fucking lovely.
Didn't Golden Wonder used to do a Bovril flavoured crisp?

The Boleyn in the 70s.
Cup of Bovril and a quick rendition of 'ee i addio we won the cup'

Marmite was originally a bi-product from the brewries. How can that be bad? 

Bovril = Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE)

Spread on hot buttered toast bovril is a thing of beauty!

"boiled beef bones"?

How much greener can a product be from the current food chain?

Could kill off global warming at a stroke if we all switched to eating/drinking it.

Even the fast-food burger joints stop just after arseholes & eyelids in the make-up of their patties, but I'm sure would switch to incorporating Bovril if it meant they got more value out of a cow carcass.

Had one the other week as it goes,working in the cold and the client brings out two steaming mugs of it, lovely on a bitterly cold day.  Used to drink loads of it when on the South Bank at Upton Park.

Synonymous with going to football as a kid in the 70,s can smell it if I close my eyes!
