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.

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