.... 23 Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 I know! It just seems to be endless. I see the Calverton Connection is diverted these days down Lime Lane and through the back end of Calverton. Unbelievable though really that they can get away with closing it yet again. Folks in Calvo must be really annoyed about it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

katyjay 5,085 Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 Here's a few more things you don't hear about so much now. Lying in: This was when a woman stayed in bed 2 weeks at least, after giving birth. My old neighbour when we lived in Langar had rheumatism, she called it the screws. St Vitus Dance seems to have disappeared, or this name for it anyway. And lastly, Scurvy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLY2 10,108 Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 I'm considering starting a topic entitled Ailments, Aches & Pains so that all members so afflicted can post there, instead of How's Your Day. Save that topic for the cheerful beggars. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Geoffrey Dennis 124 Posted February 9, 2019 Report Share Posted February 9, 2019 I fell over on a freshly Tarmacadamed Road at the age of 9 Years which caused a condition called Impetigo. Can not remember if I was given any medication to take but do remember my face being painted purple. As the condition was highly contagious I was not allowed to attend school for several weeks.A colleague of mine was diagnosed with T B at a young age and strangely can remember playing football on the Sunday and being in an isolation hospital the following morning.Fresh Air was the order of the day with the doors and windows permanently open irrespective of the weather conditions outside.Apparently the older patients took the Fresh Air instructions to heart and used to sneak out to the Pub at night time for a pint or two.
