omg!!!!!!!!!!!!! blast from the past FC lol mum always said olive oil and cotton wool for earache lol

 

is that a scots thing? lol

 

yep mums way too defo must be scots then lol

 

hahhaah yeh everything deep fried eh FC lol

 

No: it's a "parent" thing

 

Silly billy! The idea was to heat the spoon up in hot water and *then* pour a small amount of olive oil *onto* the spoon and the residual heat would warm the OO

 

Olive oil is the best, but I'm not too worried about rising prices because I've found that the cheap stuff often has as much flavour as the expensive stuff

Also, re the ear wax thing, no its not a Scots thing. Olive oil was the standard treatment for ear ache or blocked up lugs when I was little. In fact I still use the trick from time to time now. My trick is to pour a small amount into a shot glass, stand that in a cup of hot water for a minute or two, then spoon it in and then bung the lughole with tightly rolled bog roll, thus holding it in place for long enough for it to get to work.

 

Never a crowd puller/fashion statement look though

 

I have had ear problems all my life and my mother did it too.
I have to see an ear specialist every 6 months, due to problem recounted in another thread, he is Greek, and I have to put OO in my ear for a week before I go, it`s horrid, having no ear drum it keeps going and makes me dizzy and nauseous. So OO in ear is pretty universal.
