    #17 You can get fisherman friend in assorted other flavours now from blueberry to mint. Like Docs wife I have them in my handbag as well. Work a treat if I forget to take my asthma meds.


    Victoria, a mate of mine was up in court on a minor charge.
    He kept coughing and the judge said maybe you should try sucking a Fisherman's Friend.
    Your honor he replied, that is what got me in court last time.
    Happy daze John in Oz.

    Some may say not in the best possible taste
    as with marmite, some like them and some hate them.

    Hi John.
    Your mention of Beacham's powder, reminded me of when we lived in NZ and everyone seemed to take; I think it was called Becks powder, in a paper the size of a cigarette paper it was used for everything, until they discovered it was causing huge numbers of people getting kidney cancer.

    'Take a Bex and have a lie down' was the catch phrase.

    But so many of the pills and powders because of the base material in them, not quite cement but close, can cause Kidney stones if you take enough of them.
