Anyone remember those floppy 45 singles you would get free with cereals or on the front of smash hits. They somehow managed to play

I am one of 7 children but I can't remember any of us ever getting nits.

Worms, however, was a different story. The doctor use to prescribe Pripsen powder. My parents would mix it with water and force us to drink it. It was vile. Sometimes they would mix it into jam and force us to eat the jam off a plate. I'm sure it would have been more palatable as a jam sandwich.

….opposite for us, nits commonplace but never even heard of kids having worms growing up in ‘60s. First came across worms when our daughter had them, I was horrified but soon cleared. She’s now a Consultant surgeon so never did her any harm

Mum used to give us Ex-lax
She had a thing about us not getting constipated.
