The message
from Alan Gould contains these words:


A neighbouring gardener of ours was having some skin problems from
plants and was prescribed an ointment called 'Cicatrin' (Wellcome).
The ointment works very well, but how is its name pronounced?

Siccatrin....according to my last GP. Good stuff :-)

In English, C followed by I or E is soft (cinder, certain). C
followed by O, A and U is hard as in condor, curtain, and cup.
