All those horrible cures. Surgical spirit on cuts, Dolly Blue for wasp bites, calamine lotion for a rash perhaps they knew more than we think.

Pour it down the drain. It's good for cleaning them.Surgical Spirit - aaaaarrgh!
I've got a bottle in the medicine cabinet.
What you ate it??
Always got lucozade when I was poorly...it was almost worth being ill to get itTradition.
The lucozade is for the poorly person.
The grapes are for the visitor(s) to eat
I know that now but i didn't when i was a little kid. It didn't make any odds to my dad what it said on the jar or what my mum said. You were getting a spoonful of Vicks and that was that. Give him his due he would have it himself, who knows maybe my granddad did it to him.
Surprised you have not drunk it, or would that open old wounds.Surgical Spirit - aaaaarrgh!

States clearly on the tub, not for internal use, it were liver salts for kids over here, i remember a lad beside me with skid marks down his legs below his shortsI know that now but i didn't when i was a little kid.

I'll have to read these post tomorrow, far too pissed now.
On the plus side, I may be too pissed tomorrow too.
Don't remember posting that
Bet you don't remember your other post either Mark!
Obviously it got deleted immediately.
we got malt and cod liver oil followed by orange juice every winter morning.................then when daughter and grandchildren came along....they got it also.......only difference was........i loved the malt hated codliver oil....was always told it was nice and didyou good..........told my bairns its absolutely tastes horrid but get it down quickly and you are very brave and it will do you good....(it worked a treat) no bother getting them to take it......Dad used to give us a spoonful of Malt as kids.
Out of 5 kids in our family, I was the only one who liked it so I used to have a second spoonful.
Can needs to contact the Docs they have clearly missed her has she had the CEV letters throughout the lockdowns.Very strange, Caz tells me I have a letter this morning to book Covid jab, I think its strange because she hasn't had one yet and is diabetic on insulin. I have mine due to being in the >65 group so they must be going through them okay
