Re: Do you remember old remedies bought from the chemist

I think it was my gran actually.........I always wanted to taste the indian brandee...it sounded....interesting, exotic even.......so I told her i had really bad belly ache......like all grans, she asked me when I had last 'been'......sent me out to the backyard Lavvy for a sit(yes, a sit) and when I came back saying I still hadn't been......I got a dose of indian brandee.....eeewwww! It was vile. Do you think that that could be what put me off anything foreign? Could it have scarred me for life?

Have you noticed that indian brandee is spelt different to the real stuff......do you think it is to stop you getting confused between the two?
