Had a chap in the car yesterday in the car, mid 70's or so. I offered him one of my lidls pretendy tic tac Mints. He says, nah, yer alright. He seen, I think, that I was a tad taken aback by his abrupt refusal of my offer. He then tells me that when he was in his 20's or so he suffered a lot from migrane headaches. He went the doctor and got all sorts of tests and it turned out he's allergic to mint. Polo, wriggles, spear mint. We gots to talking about gout coz I have it. I was led to believe beer is bad, wine is not bad, for gout. I hate wine. I like beer. He tells me pisner beer does not affect gout, something to do with the sugar content or something. But I never heard of a mint allergy before.
