/lobelia tablets/

Have you been able to buy them over here, Sacha? I could do with
them
also.

I've never seen them over here. OTOH, I've never looked for them,
either
because I had no idea Lobelia was used for this. I found this site
which is
in UK and stocks them: http://www.herbalmed.co.uk/cat2_1.htm
They're £5.45 for 100 but worth it if one suffers badly from this
nuisance..

They should sell well in Lincolnshire. Allegedly.

Probably would but could someone explain in Lincs terms what "post nasel
drip" is? Are we talking about dewdrops?

and where exactly do you put the lobelias to stop it?

In your nostrils, of course. You would look silly walking around with the
lobelias pushed into any other orifices.
And would simple tufts of cottonwool not be as effective?

and of sinusitis??

How is the lobelia applied?

The best cure for catarrh and sinus problems is a spell in a hot dry
country. I suffered badly from sinusitis when I lived in the Thames
Valley. I spent 4 months in California and have never had a problem
since. Keeping the humidity low in your house/office helps too.

Pass. But I had a vision of a skeletal crumbly in a long brown macintosh
(endemic to Lincs, and unknown elsewhere) and sporting a glittering drip
under his nose, pedalling a vast old bike slower than walking pace.

On that description, it is the locally known "dewdrop". And yes we have
plenty of old crumbly`s in the dirty man mac.

It`s a mystery to me how they manage to keep upright on the bikes. There
is also another type that manage to pedal really slowly but go like the
clappers. Make Lance Armstrong look slow!!!!!!

We have a fine example on our Allotment site called unsurprisingly "Harry".

Oh, that's the lost art of cycling in the right gear! How much easier on the eye it
is than those mountain bikers with their little-fat-legs flailing round and round and
the bike scarcely moving up a slight incline. I don't really think you should have
more gears than IQ points, do you?
