I always use covonia or Hills balsam, both a bit savage on the throat, but both work wonders.

The way this was going I thought it may end up in the over 18s, but maybe not

Let me see tickley cough, half a bottle of scotch, some sugar, a lemon and a flask of hot water, does it for me, oh and by the way you sleep well of it too

A tickly cough .... buttercup syrup in the morning and at night before you go to bed. During the day barnips sweets and if you cant get them there is another one called Koff Kops (get them in accy on the sweet stall).

ooo cheers for that Jen, i'll have a look tomoz when i go into Accy

Another one is the hot toddy without the whisky ... 1/2 fresh lemon sliced, 1 teaspoon of honey and a pint of boiling water. I got told off by the doc for having a 2 mouthfuls of a traditional hot toddy - she told me to just make it without the whisky and keep drinking it during the day ...

that sounds better, it will coat your throat too without any sorta medication being in it
