My Grandma died of flu. Mind you, that was in 1918
Well THAT'S cheered me up, thanks. 
Any other little 'nuggets of helpful information' you'd like to share amongst us all? 
Get yourself to holland and barratt or something. Plenty of proper orange juice and water too. Flush it out!
Water, plenty of, yes. Bloody boring, but damned good for flushing the bugs away before they get to grips....alledgedly.
They reckon if we all drank 6 pints of pure water EVERY day, many illness's wouldn't hit you....apparently.
