It depends. If the remedy involves something like cutting the throat of a cockerel at midnight under a full moon, then I'd have to say bollocks! However, if it's a herbal remedy then quite possibly. Plants don't expend energy producing specialised chemicals for the fun of it; and if it produces some chemical reaction in the plant then there's nothing to say that it mightn't produce a chemical reaction in humans that is beneficial. But I want to see a proper clinical trial, double blind and all that, before I'd believe any claim.

Like hoots, the list of herbal remedies goes on and on....but I swear by a turmeric bomb if you're getting a cold. Teaspoon of turmeric, half teaspoon of honey, dash of boiling water to melt, add two inches of milk in a glass....otherwise known as golden milk. A cure all

Has someone done a rain dance??

Quite possibly, There was a little bit of rain here yesterday. One way of encouraging rain is by cloud seeding using silver iodide crystals. I sometimes wonder how much each attempt must cost - it can't be cheap.

Do you believe that every cloud has a silver lining?

I do, because I am a born optimist. Sometimes it takes a while to find the lining, but I always find it in the end

What is Christopher Biggins famous for??

Nothing in particular, as far as I can see. He seems to belong to that vast group of TV actors about whom you say, " I think I saw him in some programme a year ago. What's his name?"

I guess it depends how famous they were. Marilyn Monroe still kind of has that status.

Biggins is mostly famous for being a pantomime dame I think.

Will you watch CBB? I won't!
