    That reads like the missing line from a Nina Simone song . . .

    Ain't got no home, ain't got no shoes
    Ain't got no money, ain't got no class
    Ain't got no friends, ain't got no schoolin'
    Ain't got no wear, ain't got no job
    Ain't got no man

    Ain't got no father, ain't got no mother
    Ain't got no children, ain't got no
    Ain't got no earth, ain't got no water
    Ain't got no ticket, ain't got no token
    Ain't got no love

    Don't got a flask, don't have no bovril. I'm f'ed

    I got my hair, I got my head
    I got my brains, I got my ears
    I got my eyes, I got my nose
    I got my mouth, I got my smile

    I got my tongue, I got my chin
    I got my neck, I got my tits
    I got my heart, I got my soul
    I got my back, I got my sex

    I got my arms, I got my hands
    I got my fingers, Got my legs
    I got my feet, I got my toes
    I got my liver, Got my blood

    Got life , I got my life

    The club I don't think sees any of the money anyway.

    according to a catering person there is a national shortage of bovril i personally think they have changed their drink suppliers as its a different type of coffee being sold not just boring kenco

    I e-mailed the club and asked catering what the position regarding bovril but they have not even bothered to reply. The club has a customer charter which states they will reply within 5 working days but they haven't!

    as i said last time this was mentioned, my neice who works there said someone had cocked up the order and ordered more coffee instead of bovril. but they should have some today and so should be on sale

    and it has nothing to do with BFC. It's the catering companies fault

    But the club contract out the catering, so they will have passed that on, of course they could at least have replied to say they had forwarded on your comment.

    "Not just boring Kenco" - What do you want from coffee? What do we have now then - Starbucks double shot skinny latte with cinnamon?

    Not strictly true

    I've no idea if the club gets a percentage of sales or not but even if they don't they will still get an income from the refreshment stalls in the form of some kind of rent. If there are more customers and a higher turnover then the club can ask increase their rental charges.
