Too true! he does not like spirits though.
He is a beer man when he does have a drink.
God, no pleasing some folk.

I hardly ever drink at all so the thought of downing a Brandy/Sugar/Hot Water mix is not a nice one, but hey on the offchance it might work I will be a martyr

Hi Weeal - hope you get better soon.
Here's a quick concoction for a persistent cough -
Mix together fresh lemon juice, black pepper and honey together. Take a tablespoon as needed. Works all the time for me. Take care and feel better xxx

thanks figure, isnt it funny how all the revolting stuff apparently does the trick lol

my mum keeps telling me to make sugar/margarine balls and swallow them for a cough - think she's trying to kill me

Wee Al I know the thought of onions and sugar sounds awful but if I remember it used to taste ok. the onion didnt really taste like they do when you eat or cook one, just a sweet syrup taste. give it a try for a few days and see. anything is worth a try.

Oh dear - join the club. This damned bug seems to be running a marathon throughout the whole country. I find hot water poured onto lemon slices with a generous blob of honey soothing during the day. As a nightime booster to help get some sleep, add some whisky. Hope you feel better soon. Have had mine for over a week too and I now sound like a Whooper Swan. Read in the paper recently that the government is telling GP's not to prescribe antibiotics for colds and coughs. Reckon this is just a ruse to reduce costs for the NHS. Think how much money they will save if we all die of bronchitis or pneumonia !

Thanks 'whoever' - and i hope you too feel better soon.

I dont think I will even ask for antibiotics then, will just ride it out and hope for the best like a brave wee soldier lol
