360901_3bc851.jpg My mum was in Sainsburys the other day and hunting for the Bovril. She approached a sales assistant and asked her where it was.

‘Oh it’s in Aisle 8′ says the cheery assistant. Mum trots off to Aisle 8, only to be confronted by rows of kitchen roll and toilet paper. Back she goes to the sales assisant.

‘I can’t find it; I don’t think it’s in Aisle 8′ she suggests.  The assistant gives her a strange look. ‘I’ll come with you and show you’, she says.

Back in Aisle 8; ‘There it is’ says the assistant, waving her hand at the toilet paper. At which point the penny drops and Mum starts laughing. ‘BOVRIL!’ She says. ‘I’m looking for BOVRIL. Not bogroll!’

Will Rogers, 1879-1935, cowboy, actor, philanthropist
