Eat the hottest curry you can stand - generally a step above your usual.

Vicks plastered on your feet, thick pair of socks just before bed.

Yup, big hot curry or chilli (it's the chillis and garlic), Vicks vaporub on your soles, olbas oil on your pillow and night nurse.

This was passed to me years ago by Granny Grimshaw and it works.

1 spoonful of brown sugar
half a lemon squeezed
honey
half teaspoon cinnamon
Boiling water

Take 3 times a day, if throat sore just suck honey, it coats the sore bits.

For me it has to be Heinz Chicken or Tomato Soup. Probably no medicinal value but comforting.

Dunno but even tho the Indians all have deals on on a Sunday I really can't stomach eating owt. Will try the Vicks on feet and got some night nurse and some fresh orange

The thought of onion juice nearly made me spew up tbh.

Nanny Tree always used to swear by butter mixed with sugar and vinegar so had an egg cup full of that.

The Vicks on the feet was passed on by my nan.

Always works for me. A few people also swear by it. Maybe they had a nan with Yorkshire roots too.

My dads suggestion is a glass of warm Rum.

I put Vicks on my chest before bed, helps breathing during the night.

I'm sceptical on the Vicks, but it always works so can't really grumble.

So clearly just flu not manflu. Had it been manflu you would still be on a drip and unable to make it into work so soon.

You can't do anything too strenuous at work Mr Tree surely?

Anything other than car park attendant would be impossible with your symptoms....and that's providing you were in a heated booth. Other than maybe solicitors.

For the runny nose I've heard two used butt-plugs jammed in each nostril works, a bloke who lives at the top of our street who's a bit strange recommended it.

If Arnie (Total Recall) is able to pull an implant the size of a hard boiled egg out of one of his nostrils... I'm sure you can manage it tree!

If you go to work with flu you seriously need locking up. And I don't mean in a mental ward.

Wierdly, I spoke to a bloke today who is recovering from Man Flu, and his missus insisted he should put Vicks on his feet , then a pair of socks before bed. Truly never heard that one.

There are other benefits to Vicks on your feet.

1) it makes them smell more pleasant
2) it makes them a bit softer

Erm, I think that's it.
