Ginger beer

[The Grock in the Frock]

thinking about it now ,i remember an aunt telling me to put a spoonfull of whiskey in my first childs bottle when he was teething and very cranky.i followed what she said and my son slept all that night and the next day.i thought this was great and told her .she asked me what size spoon i had used,and i told her a desert spoon,to which she went mad and told me she ment a tea spoon ,ooops

My mum used to insist on cleaning our ears with the top of a hair grip - ouch! It reminded me a few weeks ago because I had to visit the Docs with an ear infection and got a lecture on not using cotton buds or anything else in my ears because it's very easy to damage your ear drum, blah blah blah. I reckon mine must be pretty bomb proof after that early abuse and would laugh in the face of cotton buds.

What was the sugar coated Vicks about Grock? I get the force feeding of malt extract and cod liver oil - my mum thought they had magical powers to, but I'm sill wondering about Vapour Rub taken as a medicine

acording to her it warmed ye tubes up from the inside,and i still do the ear cleaning with a hair clip on my own kids,and luv sqeezing the blackheads of my 20yr olds face

I rubbed my kids gums with neat whiskey when they were teething. Then i had a swig myself to calm the nerves. My eldest cried for 3 days and nights solid when she was teething.

[lizzie]

[The Grock in the Frock]

[pigletwillie]

[Chantal]

Oh, yuk I think I'm having as relapse!

How is it that any posting, in the hands of the Liverpool Loonies and The Piglet can get below trouser level in less than a page? And how is that I always manage to get dragged in to it

I must be more restrained and demure
I must be more restrained and demure
I must be more rest...

Oh forget it!

PS I can only imagine the sort of fragrance that's clinging to Piglet's hands right now!

[pigletwillie]

why roses of course

[lizzie]

There you go Piglet. Rub some of that sprout wine on the wound. That should cauterise it. Now you can chastise the naughty Grock very firmly for having you spit roasted in the first place

All I can remember about my parents' attempts at brewing ginger beer when I was little was the horrendous explosion that occurred one Sunday morning from the cupboard under the stairs! It was fantastically exciting to us children but alas that was the end of the ginger beer brewing experiment
