More on Bovril

There’s a question as to whether Bovril is vegan or not. Here’s a link to a BBC Web site report that talks about Bovril going veg. Here’s another link to Wikipedia that says Bovril had to re-include beef ingredients because the European Commission told them they had to. The official Bovril Web site is too stupid for words and totally unhelpful. A fine example of too much money thrown at a Web site to make it clever but fails to include the most basic information.

So, what’s a Grumpy Vegan to do?

Buy Marmite instead.

Hastings Bonfire Night

Henry VIII and one of his wives are in the foreground. This photo was taken at the southern end of the High Street looking north. The view is obscured by smoke from flares and torches.
Last night was Hastings Bonfire Night organized by Hastings Borough Bonfire Society. It is a spectacular event attracting thousands of people to the town and is part of a long-standing tradition in Sussex for bonfires.
