All the replies along with this, and nobody has mentioned the dreaded "cod liver oil"

Ugh! Now that you mention it, I do remember that horrible taste when I was very young. It was a daily ritual that was always accompanied withthe explanation "It's good for you."

No one has mentioned 'long uns'......I didn't get them until I was in secondary school, aged about 13....

That's a bit young to be classed as long in the tooth, Keith.

BTW, why is the name of all Keiths, spelt wrongly?
Isn't it "i before e, except after c"? NOT K!

Rose hip syrup, now that was a regular for me before cycling off for the day. I always imagined that my legs tired quicker if I skipped my dose.

My favourite was the orange juice supplied by the MOF, in small bottles to be diluted.

I got the job on family visits, of looking after the other kids, and if I kept them quiet and out from under the feet of the adults, my reward was a bottle of said juice.
