BETTESWORTH ON COUNTRY REMEDIES

on BBC Home Service Basic

View in Radio Times

The third of five readings from the works of George Bourne
Selected and read by Bernard Miles
Bourne records, in Bettesworth's own words, the old countryman's views on such differing subjects as Right and Wrong, village nicknames, and a good way to cure a toothache: ' I've put baccer in my teeth — I've even gone so fur's to put it in my ears. Roll it up tight an' soak it in rum and poke it into yer ear'ole, the side where the ache is. 'T stops the pain for a bit, but it very soon makes yer head begin to jump.'
