That's my attitude towards "alternative medicine" - try it by all means,
but keep taking the tablets.

:-)

I di buy some local honey, rather expensive at £3.50 per jar, but it
didn't have enough effect to make me pay that price again.

The expense depends on the size of the jar. £3.50 for 3/4 lb seems to be
more or less standard up here. But in shops 'local' honey is much more.
'Local' seems to mean anything within a 50 mile radius - and some of
that, I
know, isn't always produced in that area.

I bought some 2 lb jars of honey for £2 each - not local - blended stuff
which was supposed to be runny hunny, but had set. Made some excellent
mead...

Terry sells his at about £1.50 to friends, and £1.75 to shops, and all
proceeds go to the Methodist church where he is a lay preacher and a very
central figure. At his golden wedding celebration we had a choice of
red or white grape juice, but her other brother Eric and I managed to
sneak out for a pint. :-)

Oh! You little tinker you!!

Teetotalitarianism is IMO an exercise in being holier than the founder
of the religion, whose first miracle was to turn water into wine...

At our golden wedding anything anyone wants will be available. Same at my
funeral.

Ar. Not being married, my golden weeding is well over the horizon, but
there should be ample stocks of sloe gin, home-made wines, etc.

I have a particularly pleasant one I'm gargling with at present: it
started life as ginger beer, and I re-used the ginger (fresh, minced)
and the yeast in the bottom of the demijohn, throwing in washings of jam
and marmalade jars, odd syrups from tinned or bottled fruit, simmered
orange peel, etc., and when it was done, I added it to the sloes from
which I'd decanted two gallons of sloe gi^h^h^h white rum. I let that
steep for six months, and while it would win no prizes for its clarity,
it is to die for.
