- My MIL swears by Vicks on the soles of your feet for the flu "because feet skin absorb the most and the vicks draws out the toxins" (thought foot skin was famously quite thick, honestly). - My late mother's suggested a used tea bag on a surgical wound that went down to the bone, which normally had to be packed and dressed with proper wound care. - MIL insisted germolene and an icepack on a bacterial mosquito bite infection that needed antibiotics. - FIL suggested germolene on a knife wound, which actually required a saline wash and some stitches. Honourable mention of rusks in a baby bottle for colic. submitted by /u/No_Pea-1 to r/AskUK

For me its that we all have bad teeth, especially since the UK has better dental hygiene than a lot of countries, countries like America are more focused on good looking teeth rather than healthy teeth submitted by /u/DonutMan1834 to r/AskUK [link] [comments]

submitted by /u/bbyxmadi to r/popculturechat [link] [comments] A warning about cash buyers
29 May 2026 @ 7:05 pm
I’m in complete disbelief. Our seemingly perfect cash buyers have pulled out at the last minute, crashing our chain. I want to share how they weaponised their status so others can avoid the same trap. Like any seller, we were delighted to get an offer from a couple who had sold up and gone into rental. They negotiated hard, but we settled on a figure slightly under asking, accepting the discount because they were chain-free cash buyers. Their offer came with a strict condition: we had to complete within 12 weeks. Tight but doable. A week later, we had an offer accepted on our onward purchase. Then came a solicitor’s letter demanding we complete in 4 weeks instead. Not wanting to lose them, we threw everything into making it happen, shelling out fast for search fees, surveys, and rushing conveyancing. Because of this artificial pressure, we (and our sellers) got deeply, financially committed very quickly.
