In pub this lunchtime a general discussion about "the old times" started up

One of the subjects was the hangover cure things that used to be behind every bar, on a sort of bandolier, I think they were in brown paper with a twisted top, made to sort of look like bullets, hence the bandolier style of display

So, wise ones, what was the name of them?

Mine too! Even though I never used to get hangovers!

I don't think I've ever had one but I could do with one now after a night on Fosters. :eek: My body ain't used to that stuff anymore. Hopefully something decent in Maidstone this afternoon to wash the taste away.

Not much choice is my excuse - was at a gig at the Red Lion in Gravesend - no ales and I didn't really fancy Guinness or any keg bitters so Fosters it was. Might be a similar story tomorrow at Dartford's Bull N Vic if they haven't fixed the hand pumps that some dopey barmaid broke last week.
