Actually McGrath of Harlow and Helen, Aussie Bovril is called "Bonox".

When I first came to Australia in the early 70's there was an advertisement on the TV where a guy was sitting in a plane and the stewardess came up to him and said " Coffee, tea, or Bonox?" to which he replied "BONOX!"

My wife Annie and I were talking at the time, and we both heard....


(Stewardess)"Coffee, tea or Bollocks?"
(Male passenger) "BOLLOCKS!"

Ever since that day we often ask each other when making a brew, "Coffee, tea, or BOLLOCKS!"
