Suck on this

[happy daze john in oz]

Last week I had a very sore throat and needed something to soothe it.

Why not try sucking a Fishermans Friend said the wife.

I burst out laughing.

What is so funny about that she asked.

I then explained that had she said something like that back in the early 60's she could have been in serious trouble.

Could have done worse John, could have been smokin a cadet

Fishermans friend is about the only fishing related industry left in Fleetwood these days. Keep sucking them John (the lozenges that is) help keep some poor sod in a job.

Hi John.
Have tried to get those but no luck, but found something that is in my opinion a lot better. Called "Chemist 's own,Sore Throat Lozenges", best I have ever come across. Suck one of those and withing a few minutes your sore throat has gone. Better taste than UCL.

I always carried a few packets of Fisherman's Friends when at sea and still keep some now. Thinking of all the different things for a sore throat as a lad it was Victory V Lozenges and Gums, they burned the back of your throat as I remember.

my wife was almost addicted to victory V years ago but they had to change the formulation; they are still available but difficult to find.
