£4.20 for about 15 chips agai9nst Brentford. Absolute shambles.
Can you imagine back in the thirties that if you were stood next to someone who had just paid 1d for a cup of Bovril you could tell them that one day it will be £2.50.Staff didn’t even know what a Bovril was the other day.
Three of them thought I was speaking in a foreign language at first, then thought I was taking the piss:
Me ‘Please may I have a Bovril?’
Her ‘A what?’
‘A Bovril, please’
*she looks at me like I asked if I could finger her*
‘No, seriously, please may I have a Bovril?’
‘Hahahaha, what do you want there’s a queue?’
‘Look on the screen, I’d like a Bovril, please’
*three of them turn around and it’s a picture of a hotdog because the screen has changed*
‘Hahahahaha, if you don’t want anything, we’ll have to serve the next person’
‘I want a Bovril, the beef drink’
‘Beef? Haha, come on mate’
*what must have been the manager walks over and apologises to me, gives one of them a cup of Bovril and gets me served*

The offering is what it is, and is much improved to what used to be offered, however I take issue with the service times, there has got to be a way of speeding things up personally I would make it only 2 pints or two lots of food at a time, how many times have I been waiting for a drink and someone in front of me is taking orders from all and sundry
