I don't remember that stuff but I do remember the huge never ending bottle of milk of magnesia my Mum loved to chuck down us if we complained of a stomach ache

I'm sure she had shared in the company the way she'd make us glue it

So it's basically like TCP x1000?

I used to get calamine lotion inflicted on me for what my mum initially thought was eczema, but it turned out I was allergic to some type of fabric softener that was making me itch...

We didn't have iodine at home, but we did at primary school in the nurse's room, where you were packed off after a fall so you could be sent home with orange knees.

I don't think my primary school bothered with such trifles. I still have stones in my knee from falling over on the playground!
