Yup. Know what you mean, Georgie. Sampled the stuff in Holland when writing for a Dutch publisher. Not impressed. Sometimes did nothing. Sometimes made me giggle a bit and talk nonsense. Preferred a glass of decent wine. Would have thought its pain-relieving properties were known during Brother C’s period – after the Crusades and all. And it is ridiculously easy to grow; not for nothing is it known as weed.
I might try going to a pain-consultant private doc who, I’ve been told, will follow the rules and actually prescribe the stuff.
Hope you are enjoying Bryant and May. I find them most refreshing when everything else is trying to be Young Thrusting and Next. Or maybe it’s just that I think I am becoming Arthur Bryant, even though striving to dress more live Mr May!
