It's no surprise that since the Brexit debacle and now a Boris Johnson government being run by 'No-accountability Cummings', I am embarrassed and ashamed to be English. If it were at all possible, I would vote for England to become part of Scotland, where there is a leader with two things this government seems to be devoid of: basic common sense and decency! (Rant over)A close friend is currently working on the predictive modelling of a second outbreak of Covid for the Scottish government - they were given free access - to anonymised - results from Northern Ireland, Wales, Scotland and England. Problem was - they had to rule out the English results - they were so flawed - not fit for purpose. False negatives - and - false positives galore - testing not to industry standard. The data was useless. - I.
The soaps seem to get poor reviews but the cream is really goodOK...political ranting over...this afternoon's shave was my first use of GFT Eucris. I had great hopes for this but here are my conclusions:
Fragrance: Excellent and pervasive, very traditional, Victorian or 'gothic'...I won't need air freshener in the bathroom for the rest of the day
Performance: Poor. Seemed to lather well but it dissipated very quickly and provided little cushion. Nowhere near what I expected from GFT
I'm glad I didn't fork out for the bowl as well...just bought a refill.
I thought I'd try and capture it's gothic scent in my photo:

Wow. Do you know my grandmother (long gone)? This was her surefire cold-fighting cure-all as well.That sounds ideal mate - gets the tatts on show - say nothing - look vaguely dangerous - job done - you have passed your first module on how to be Glaswegian - I'll send you your certificate. Nobody will suspect a thing.
Joking aside - sounds like you are doing everything right - problem is - at this time of year - you are going to see 'normal' flu and colds kicking in - twelve months ago - we wouldn't have thought twice about it. Times have changed though.
If your throat is bad - I give you my patent hot toddy recipe - it will help and you'll sleep.
Take a large glass -
half fill it with whisky - the cheaper the better - anything blended will do
add -
the juice of two freshly squeezed lemons - or limes - if you are feeling exotic
two or three tea spoons of honey
about an inch of fresh ginger root - grated into the glass
top up with - warm - but not boiling water. Stir well. Drink. Go to sleep.
Take care mate - I.
I was hoping the soap was good because I was looking for a new hard soap puck to put in one of my prized Boots soap dishes...if the performance of Eucris soap matched its fragrance then it would definitely be a winner. Guess I'll have to keep looking...but in the meantime that scent is enough for me to pull the trigger on Eucris cream!The soaps seem to get poor reviews but the cream is really good
