Any lingering thoughts of ever moving back have gone!

Did a drive-by of my old house. What a dump! The new iwners clearly aren't house proud. Hope they find all of the faults that I carefully hid before we sold it to them

Spent 6 hours driving from Godstone to Knutsford. Had plenty of time to enjoy the scenery on the M40. But the traffic is even worse than I remember.

Got funny looks in Tesco for buying multiple packs of Germolene, hay fever tablets (one that isn't available over here - Acrivastine), Nesquik banana, some Migaine tablets that you can't get here, Milky Bar and various random other things in multiples....

Cleared the local sweet shop of Coltsfoot Rock. 3lbs should last a while....

Absolutely agree, we stock up with soluble cocodamol when we visit Blighty- why the hell don't they do soluble meds in Canada, it doesn't make sense

Tylenol 3 is the way to go.

Try living in France. They are keen on soluble meds, although they are not designed to dissolve quite where you would probably wish them to.

<That's a hint>

Yes, I have always thought that the routine administration of meds in France was odd

Have you tried Polysporin? That's what I use when I slash myself doing DIY.

I still have a couple of boxes of Rinstead

Yep, I use Polysporin, but it doesn't have quite that "soothing" quality that Savlon has.

Savlon/Germolene for cuts and scratches, TCP for throat and Bonjela for the mouth.

Oh...and the blue bag for bee stings.

Bonjela is available on Amazon Canada. I really don't remember Rinstead but might that come into contact with what's sore?
