I take it every day. Definitely in need of a few rays! However, I also read that even people who live in hot countries can suffer from Vitamin D deficiency and they will also benefit.  8)

Anyone remember having Cod Liver oil given to them as a child? Now I know it was the old fashioned way of giving children Vitamin D in post war Britain which was  still on rationing.
I remember that - and thinking it was horrible. At the same time I remember taking tablespoons of malt extract - sweet, thick, sticky, dark brown goo, ladled from a huge jar. I have no idea what that was supposed to do, but it was lovely and worth having a cold just to get treated with it.

I can remember when the only olive oil we had in the house was in a small bottle with a dropper and it was only used to treat ear infections.

    We were sent off to school dosed up with spoonfuls of Cod Live Oil, Radio Malt and Concentrated Orange juice, which were

    issued free from a local Welfare Clinic, and all day long you kept tasting the Cod Liver Oil. Good long term benefits though.    ;)

Hmmm welfare Orange juice, was almost worth the cod liver oil. The PLJ in hot water with  honey stirred in and an orange junior aspirin when you had a bad cough n cold. I remember nicking my first nieces  Delrosa, rosehip syrup, kids had it in water but it was lovely straight out the bottle.Dunno what it was for though.

I used to love the welfare orange juice, it came in a sort of medicine bottle and it was all mine as nobody liked it but me. We also had stuff called Virol which is similar to malt but disgusting to me.

To speed up the birth of my first daughter, the midwife told me to drink one of the small bottles of olive oil on the morning that my baby was 10 days late.  It worked. 8)

If any of our younger members has trouble sleeping they might try reading these "all our yesterdays" posts and they should be off in two ticks. I'm glad to have contributed to CBF's all round service.

My youngest grandchildren are too busy chasing Pokemons to take any notice of me anyway!
