Or two.
So instead of searing commentary today I give you a handy hint from "Ask Aunt Daisy!", published by Whitcombe & Tombs Ltd (no date, unfortunately), but costing only two shillings and sixpence, containing "196 pages full of valuable hints for the housewife".
Here we go with wisdom seasonally opportune:
Sunburn - Apply methylated spirits as soon as possible, and apply till the heat goes out. Also good for burns.
2. Slice a green tomato and rub it on the sore places.
3. The white of an egg, the juice of a lemon, a teaspoon of borax. Put in a bottle, and shake well. Keep corked. Smear over burns.
Well, bugger me.
Great to see you blogging Deborah (even if per my tweets of minutes ago your view on assisted-dying is a bit shit.) I'm going to try methylated spirits next time I get sunburn (kayaking), despite it seems counter intuitive - I reckon it would sting.
ReplyDeleteJust don't light a match unless you wish to combine sunburn cure with assisted dying. That really would be shite.
