Hi guys,

I am writing a few words down about my life while I can still remember it all and I remember whilst in the British Army in the early 80s I used to see a sign in the doctors waiting room. The sign said, "When you feel like the bottom has dropped out of your world, take .......and watch the world drop out of your bottom."
I can't remember the name of the medicine itself. Do any old soldiers out there remember this?

AB Biscuits? Biscuits AB >>>

No, that's not it. It was definately some form of liquid medicine that was used as a "cure all".

Epsom Salts?

Blue unction,

Missed the n out there Mick, unction..... apparently. With a startling resemblance to the RAF uniform colour.

No, it's none of these. It seems it wasn't as popular as I thought.

Exlax?

Liquid paraffin...

Wire brush and Dettol, or was that just the Royal Navy?

My old man swears by his "bottle of jollop" - he takes it for everything but Lord knows whats in it!!

I was waiting for you Carl.

Take 2 ibuprofen and put this tubigrip on it was all I recall from the Med Centre

That and "What the ****'s wrong with you?"

Drill!

Oooo I don't feel well, off to the sickbay.

What about from my very dark distant past "Number eights " rings a bell from some where

Exlax is a possibility. But I think it was a longer word, like Covonia, but not Covonia if you know what I mean.

No idea only Krypyonite affected my Battalion.

....or Tenants.
