Mmmm, interesting as Jello isn't a term that we use; we call it Jelly. I haven't got a huge amount of time today, but if I remember, I'll see if I can find anything else out.

Does it say "the great toy" above it? I can't make it out. Also, What is at the very top? "BOVRH"? That's just silly. :) And what it the photo from?

Glad I could help you out by asking a bunch of questions. Also, what is the meaning of life?

The top line says 'BOVRIL'.

To me it looks like there may be a few letters on the right-hand-side of the bottom two lines that are being obscured by the building in front. Do any more letters become visible in the motion of the movie?

Iron Jelloids: The Great Tonic

Yay, chrismear! YOU win the intertubes today!!!!

Now, where can we get us some Gin and Iron Jelloids? (I hear they make a great tonic)

So then what is BOVRIL?

It's a beef-extract (except for a couple of years in the last five years or so when they made it out of yeast instead (BSE scare and all that)). You can make into a hot drink.

You can make into a hot drink; why you'd want to, however, is another matter. Ditto Marmite - surely one of the world's most foul substances.

Huh. The things we learn on the internet.

Marmite is lovely.

But then, you either Love it or you hate it.
And another

Marmite is evil.

Iron Jelloids: The Great Tonic
Oh, quinine! THANK YOU chrismear!!!

Another England question please.
Do people in England prefer to be referred to as the English or the British or another term I do not know yet?

Hi taz

YAY!!! ESSEXJAN!!! You are really missed!

Call 'em Poms or Pommies, getoffmylawn, or Limeys. That's what they prefer.

Do people in England prefer to be referred to as the English or the British or another term I do not know yet?

Political minefield.

As an English-born person of Welsh heritage who lives in Scotland, I call myself British, but your man on the Scottish/Welsh street would call me English, and my more left-wing friends find self-identifying as British to be faintly offensive. By and large, English people in England will call themselves English (and unthinkingly refer to the British Isles as 'England') but the ones who go on about it a lot are probably Tory-voting racists who mean 'English (as opposed to the brown family next door)'.

And it sounds like you might be risking the great crime of using 'England' as a synonym for 'Britain', which involves offending Scottish, Welsh, and possibly Cornish people. (I won't get into Northern Ireland.)

The best rule of thumb is probably to avoid 'British' altogether and refer to people as English, Scottish (or Scots, never Scotch) and Welsh. (Again, I won't get into Northern Ireland.)

Er, yeah. Time for a Bovril!

Come to think of it, maybe UKasians is best ;-)

(Yet again, I won't get into Northern Ireland.)

Thank you jack_mo. I would not like to offend anyone that is from England, the British Isles, the United Kingdom, et cetera...

Call me European. :)

Personally, I'm not bothered what you call me. The Jocks and the Welsh get a bit funny about it but who can blame them. If you really want to make a Jock angry, refer to any winning Scottish team as British and any winning English team as English. They hate that.

And, while I remember, where abouts in America is the state of Canada?
