Boots & many other independent pharmacies also sell it.

Re: Unaccustomed As I Am To Whingeing (Honest!)...

Just for the record; abcesses should be taken seriously, most especially by medical personel. That level of infection, that close to the brain, is not something to mess about with. The staff in A&E should be getting their backsides royally booted for sending someone so obviously suffering from a...

Re: Unaccustomed As I Am To Whingeing (Honest!)...

Hi Dutch Uncle, Yeah we do seem to be at the back of the race in the uk when it comes to being able to defend ourselves, both physically and healthwise. I looked into herbal medicines a few years back and you may be able to find some alternatives for some of your medications. They used to extract d...

Re: 2020 Potential Economic Collapse

Ferfal Aguirres,the author of 'Surviving The Economic Collapse',detailed that event in Argentina in 2000. The banks corralled money ( the Corrallito),and everyone had to live on their wits.That meant hustling.Barter started,but as soon as the banks let people have limited cash,cash took back over a...

Re: 2020 Potential Economic Collapse

I'm definitely coming around to the importance of skill values in any 'barter' system scenario, much more so than holding onto paper cash or precious metals and even seeds, food stocks and other tangible assets which have a limited life term. If we were to experience a really serious economic crash...

Re: 2020 Potential Economic Collapse

Our is only now and then as we have money to rely on. Take the physical money away and something else would evolve along the lines of barter. Obviously not in major shops but we've done a days labour and been paid in meat. Smaller shops would thrive. There have been schemes in the UK where people t...

Re: 2020 Potential Economic Collapse

I love the idea of barter. But even for those of you on this thread who are actively bartering, are you seriously saying you could properly opt out and rely on barter? all food, drink, fuel, energy? Hats off if so but it feels implausible. Theoretically possible. Particularly if you physically remo...

Re: 2020 Potential Economic Collapse

Honestly doesn't bother me in the slightest. Barter is still alive and well where we live. Even with folk like the village mechanic. The rest I'm sure I could figure out as I go! Same here. Barter goes on every day more than people think. I do barter work as well but it would be interesting to know...
