DING! By Eck! Even the answers can be cryptic! Location for most of the original Brief Encounter film. Filmed during the war, the station wasn't close enough to a major city to be subject to blackout rules. Quote
dodgydaved Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 If you suffered from thalassophobia which of these towns would you be least likely to visit - and why? Bradford, Brentwood or Brighton. (actual quiestion from the Suninnghill Comrades Club Friday Quiz on Friday May 28th ) Quote

AIUI it's been used for 'curing' colds and flu, sore throats, and even rubbed on the skin as an exfoliant and/or to combat cellulite! [Edited to correct a typo. While in 'edit mode' I'm wondering whether it could have been the first example of any form of medication because I suspect the Chinese at least have got the drop on the Romans for this] Edited August 12, 2011 by Pajaholic Quote
