Thanks to all. Have now tasted one and they are a bit plum
tasting, and not too sharp. This family has young children, so if
they are damsons then i guess its ok for them to go ahead and
'scoff'?

Quite - but be sure to keep some for making jam. And keep the
immodium to hand if the kids overindulge ;-)

You shouldn't use immodium without a prescription.

You sound like someone who's never eaten too many damsons :-)

Kaolin and morphine is better. Eating less damsons is the perfect solution.

When a doctor who specialised in tropical medicine and spent ten years working
in the tropics says don't use Immodium, that's good enough for me. Drinking
strong tea worked for me. The tannin has a similar effect to Immodium without
killing you if you have serious bug.

Port & brandy mixed is one old remedy. I've never tried but I should think
the overall effect is to make you indifferent to whatever ails you!
