Nose Bleed

[ironmonger]

My young next door neighbour has just had a nose bleed and I told him when I was young many years ago people but a very cold door key down your back.He laughed and said that was silly. Do any other AB s remeber this.

[ummmm]

Afraid not.....how old are you?

It's mentioned here - but it never worked

It was because keys used to be huge things and were always cold - it was the cold that was supposed to stop the bleed
