I've heard that if you have thrush in a 'delicate'place put yogurt on it. How on earth did somebody discover that!!

Ive heard this tip too, I think that its supposed to be plain live yogurt, not strawberry flavoured!

My Granny used to tell me off for sitting on a stone step and tell me I'd get piles. I was about 7 and wasn't particularly bothered..... piles of what? She also wouldn't let us eat uncooked pastry - "you'll get worms". Uncooked cake mixture was OK, though (salmonella, Granny!).

.

All grans must say the same thing. Mine used to say above as well as

1. Don't wash you hair when you are having a period:eek:
2. She would always ask me if I liked my job, as a typical teenager (20 odd years ago) I would say "not really" She would then shout at me "you are lucky you have a job and should be more grateful." In the end I would just say "yeah work is great"

Must admit I really miss her. In fact I am going a bit like her. She used to get mixed up with our names and I now do exactly the same.
Typical morning in mine is "eat your breakfast John, Michael, I mean James"
The kids just look at me as if I am mad.

This reminds me of someone's signature: "Who discovered that you could get milk from a cow, and what were they thinking of at the time?"

I can't help wondering who was the 'dirty beggar' who first looked at a snail (or frog's legs) and thought 'Yummy - that looks tasty!'

or you'll get chill blains with you warm your feet in front of the fire when you come in from the snow...my feet were like blocks of ice so who would even care...just get them warmed up...:eek:

I once rang my dog food company who deliver and left this message "hi it's xxxxx can you drop me off a dog of bag food" when he called he kept saying right then there's your dog of bag food then...thanks when do you think you'll need another dog of bag food then...and so on and so on until I said is something wrong...he burst out laughing and said you don't get it do you...I said no ...he then explained so I could see the funny side of it...eventually after my brain had kicked itself into gear...I don't know who was more embarrassed me or him...

Another thing was "Red and green, should never be seen", though sometimes it was "Blue and green should never be seen". Basically never wear green.

Actually no, because "pink and green will suit the Queen". Although the lady (older friend of my mums) who told me this was a nightmare to go into the countryside with... for good luck you had to say "Good morning Mr Sheep" - when you saw a sheep in the morning obviously, but it didn't seem to matter that most sheep hanging about in fields are female. And if you saw a white coloured horse you should say "White horse, white horse, bring me good luck" and then spit three times . Of corse she was very refined about it and only did little spits into her hands :rolleyes: .

And not a tip exactly but something my Grandad always did - why bother to screw in a screw when you've got a hammer...:whistle:
