# Nettle tea?
That sounds...interesting to say the least.

# nettle tea (and cordial)
is good shit. 'tis the truth
but you need to buy it, not just go eating your local nettles
(or, at least, you need to pick young nettle leaves or something, before they go bitter and vaguely bad for you)

# I don't even think nettles grow around here.
But I will look into getting some of this nettle tea you speak of. :]

# Nettles are fucking everywhere in England.
I swear if there is a small ditch or area of grassland you can trip and fall into, I can guarantee you that it will be full of fucking nettles.

# But there's dock leaves right next to the nettles, yeah?
So it's alright.

# Yeah...except that dock leaves ARE FUCKING USELESS!
Seriously, they do next to fuck all if you fall in a ditch full of nettles (I speak from experience on this). In fact oddly the only thing which soothes the stings is to cut grapes in half and rub them on the stings.

# But I stung myself on some nettles once
and the dock leaves helped...

# Well next time it happens, try spitting on an ordinary leaf and using that instead.
I bet it will have an almost identical effect.

# nettles are the english countryside in microcosm
not actually dangerous, just mildly unpleasant and almost unavoidable

# i did find an online guide
that tells you how to prepare them something to do with hot water or something as it softens the hairs which stab the fuck out of you
