Clinker Beach: an oz of Bovril in a bottle.
Taken on 11 August 2017 and uploaded 2 January 2025.
Overlooking Tilbury's Clinker Beach, a largely intact brown glass bottle in a very distinctive shape but minus its paper labels: never mind, the bottle itself states its contents - an oz (ounce) of beef concentrate sold as Bovril, still a familiar brand today. The bottle probably dates from the 1930s and was about 2" high.
I grew up using LSD, imperial weights and measures and am still confused by the latter, but can cope with decimal money. LSD, for non-Brits, is short-hand for Pounds, Shilling and Pence. Weights and measures - Pounds (again !) and Ounces, or lb and oz...
1 oz is not a lot at all, unless it's beef concentrate.
