Use the straws Wally .... use the straws!
....think of the money you'll save.
Glad to see I've kept you amused for so long!
Isn't it fascinating the trouble/expense we are all prepared to go to, no one wants to get sick on their holiday!
I don't take yakult, probiotics, raspberry, travelan or use antibacterial wipes on things.
I have my own list, only drink bottled water, use bottled water for teeth brushing and toothbrush rinsing, don't swallow water in shower or pool, won't dry my hands on well used towels after washing them in loos, and of course there's my own straws when offered dodgey ones.
I've travelled to all sorts of remote & 'risky' areas around the world and have only ever used these precautions and have NEVER been sick or even had the slightest hint of upsetting the Great Bowel God so I know these precautions work for me.
Hope yours work half as well for you. Cheers to you Wally, and remember ..... use the straws!
