Numbs sore throats
Unlike lozenges it works by spraying a powerful anaesthetic straight to the painful area. It gives you relief in seconds. Honey and lemon belong to grandma’s remedies.
Well I am not too confident about any of the above. I have the experience that some viral infections can cause tickling others serious pain in your throat. Swallowing usually aggravates pain.
You may take minor analgesics like Paracetamol or anti-inflammatories like Ibuprofen but they only give temporary relief if at all.
Anyhow things get better in 2-3 days.
A lot of patients nudge their doctors to prescribe antibiotics and some of them are quite assertive to have them. They are not willing to understand that antibiotic therapy does not have a role in case of common colds as they only work for bacterial infections provided you have chosen the right one.
Prescribing antibiotics without proper judgment may lead to the development of multi-resistant and potentially fatal bacterial strains.
Weighed down ? Don’t struggle with your bags…pls. use the lifts instead !
It is forbidden to carry heavy suitcases on the escalator most of the time.
You can’t even step on them with a big luggage in hand as there are metallic bars provided. The reason for this is an increased risk of falls by all probability.
People try to lift their luggage all the same quite often as they are always in a hurry.
Caution has to be paid if you have a pet like a dog in your hand. They have to be carried as their paws may easily get hurt while stepping off the escalator. All the same some pet-owners train their dogs to jump off the escalator as it reaches its upper or lower end.
Skate at …
Whirl, glide, skate and slide
I used to skate a lot as a child and a teenager. There was a tennis court near to my home and as winters had been very cold at the time it was watered by hoses and water got frozen in no time.
We enjoyed skating a lot. I was not able to develop proper skating skills though as my joints were wobbly and was unable to have an ice-hockey skate only the one for artistic skating.
This was a place to meet friends and girls.
That was where some encounters ended up in a marriage especially at the time when my parents were young.
In the spring, summer and autumn we did a lot of roller skating and had some falls but never suffered serious injuries. Scooters were not without danger either.
Don’t pay more. Book in advance. Save 43%
If you book a train or flight ticket in advance you may save a lot of money.
Within London you may use your Oyster card or even your Credit Card.
There are few buslines where still paying in cash is possible.
If you use your Oyster card it is important not to forget touching in and out.
You can top up your card at automats on the train-station or some supermarkets. I prefer the latter one. I always keep a spare Oyster card topped up in my wallet as in case I don’t have one I may be asked to get off the bus in the morning rush hour. That is most annoying of course and also a bit humiliating. You have to be well organised today, I find life is too tough in comparison with circumstances in my younger years.
Changed your mind?
That’s fine. We’re here to exchange at this till or you can get refund at our refund department.
This is a great service. (Though you may not remove the price tag from the product. That proves that you haven’t worn the clothes anywhere outside your home).
I find it very convenient, as I am loath to go into those snug fitting cubicles and try on one pair of trousers after another. It is so exhausting. I have to be in a really good mood to do that. In some shops, assistants just have a look at you and hand over a piece of clothing that will fit you. These shops I return to. I may be short- tempered as I am big and it is always a problem to find anything that fits me.
Leave your hanger with us
This is a good idea, as it is much easier to carry pieces of clothing home without the hanger. It is also ideal from the point of view of recycling.
I always take plastic bottles to special places where there is selective collection of rubbish. I always have those pictures in my mind which show how animals in the sea gets trapped in plastic material. I want to avoid that by all means necessary. I don’t ask for a carrier bag at shops, if it is at all possible and try to have some from a previous shopping trip, on me.
To be environmentally-conscious is of the utmost importance, in my opinion.
Numbs Sore Throats
Unlike lozenges, this works by spraying a powerful anaesthetic straight onto the painful area for numbing relief within seconds. Perfect for when honey and lemon won’t cut it.
Well, I’m not too confident. In my experience, some viral infections cause a tickling sensation, while others can cause serious pains in the throat. Swallowing usually aggravates the pain.
You may take minor analgesics like paracetamol or anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen, but they only provide temporary relief, if any at all. Anyhow, things usually get better in two to three days.

This is what I observed during the time I was head of Endoscopy in Budapest.
Skate At…
Whirl, glide, skate, and slide!
I used to skate a lot as a child and as a teenager. There was a tennis court near my place growing up, and during very cold winters, they would spray water on it, which would freeze quickly so we could go ice skating.
We enjoyed this a lot, however, I was never able to develop proper skating skills because my joints were wobbly. I wasn’t allowed ice hockey skates, only ones for figure skating.
It was also a popular place to meet friends and girls. Some encounters even ended in marriage, especially back when my parents were young.
In spring, summer, and autumn, we did a lot of roller skating. We had some falls but never any serious injuries, although they weren’t entirely without their dangers.
Don’t Pay More: Book in Advance and Save 43%
If you book train or flight tickets in advance, you can save a lot of money.
Within London, you can use your Oyster card or even your credit card. So don’t rely on coins and notes for getting around the city.
If you use an Oyster card, it’s important not to forget to touch in and out. You can top up your card at the machines in tube stations or in some shops—I prefer the latter.
I always keep a spare Oyster card topped up in my wallet because if I don’t have one, I might be asked to get off the bus during the morning rush hour. That’s very annoying and a bit humiliating to say the least.
You have to be so organized today. I find life much tougher these days compared to my younger, more carefree years.

Leave Your Hanger With Us
This is a good idea, as it’s much easier to carry clothes home without the hanger. It’s also ideal from a recycling – or refusing and reusing – point of view.
I always take plastic bottles to the central collection point. I have images in my mind of sea animals trapped in plastic waste, and I want to avoid that at all costs.
I don’t ask for a carrier bag at shops if possible and try to bring one from a previous shopping trip.
Being environmentally conscious is, in my opinion, of the utmost importance.
