I used Cetirizine for yours, but for me it wasn't a game changer. I think's my allergy is to Birch pollen, running from the beginning of February. A couple of years of ago I gave the nasal spray Beconase Hay Fever anther go, using it first thing each day. The Hay Fever's effectively gone...

It is just him I think. Super Hod from the 70’s up to 1987.

I worked with older builders in the 80’s who talked about Super Hod. Pre internet and I didn’t buy The Sun, I never looked him up until today.

I read the same article an hour ago, great minds :lolol: . Yes I do. I worried it’d be a horrible ending, now crippled by arthritis. Far from it, bailing out at 35 to be successful developer. I love stories like that, an entrepreneur who took risk :bowdown:

Other competitions … how many flettons could be held between hands at shoulder height, pull ups on the bottom lift, how many 9” Celcons could be lifted at once? …. a lot towering above the head as they’re fairly light. Everyone bronzed from no sun lotion, in shorts all spring/summer. Boys...

The funny thing is …. I did. We even bought a giant plasterers hod to get more pug up quicker to the top lift. And silly competitions eg who could carry most 9” concrete blocks at once along a dangerous run of scaffold boards. Idiots in our 20’s, not a care in the world for our backs or sun...

Sadly, I keep records of weather stuff :lolol: . For us there were just a few sunny days in late April. The unrelenting sun arrived on 13th May. We used to live in BN41 … you must have a sunnier clime!

I had a cousin who was a brickie/house builder, he always hated our summers and working in the heat. We visited both Great Dixter and Sissinghurst today. The tanned Great Dixter staff seemed to be loving it all, I suppose after 8 months of unusual cold or rain. I think about protection from...

The long wet and cold spring ended for us on 8 May. Everyday since exactly the same, with cold nights and that wind 24-7. The equivalent of winter 62/63 where a blocking high pressure gave 10 weeks of mostly polar continental winds from the east.

I gave cycling a miss for the last few weeks. It’s generally breezy up here anyway, but for literally the last 4 or 5 weeks we’ve had a 20mph gusty NE wind. The BBC/Met Office correctly forecast that. Making the hilly route I love hellish.

Do you take anything to counter it? I use a couple of products that basically eliminate it every day. Why did I suffer for so many springs?
