It is such a pain when they take something off that suits us. I have just put Meltos on Ebay and they are coming up with Robitussion and Benylin don't know if they would be any good.

I was concerned about you when you left,But really glad your back there are loads of lovely new members here as im sure your noticing.I have a swig of covonia original but wouldnt be recommending it as i dont know enough of the ins and outs about it.It tastes awful but kills my tickle which stops me coughing.Get rid of that cold mollmoomoo eh darn things! See you soon :) Janexx
