Ed, I've never met her but Alison calls Guinness "The Vile Black Stuff" - and she is from Ireland originally!I don't remember Virol but I was given Haliborange tablets and Rose Hip syrup as well as the cod-liver oil and malt. I seem to remember my mother making some rose hip syrup a couple of years ago - I must check as I think it is very easy to make.
