Surprised that Sunderland is expected to vote 'Leave.' I live in the NE near enough to both towns/cities and when friends and I have spoken about it the vote is varied. It depends on what kind of work they do, I think. I haven't seen a forecast but I haven't looked for one either. |

You are lucky that you stayed upright, Rollo. My OH was fine in heat too. |

I once lived in the Gulf. Kuwait temperature this time of year around 48 C August can exceed 60 C. Never felt any need for salt tablets even when working outside. |

That would be true, Det. When I lived in Oz and it reached 40, I had a tendency to keel over. The doc said that my blood pressure 'dropped to my boots' and he recommended salt tablets - yuk, they were horrible. Instead I added salt to my plate during the really hot weather because I never used it when cooking (and still don't). |

An alternative suggestion why Australians might historically have a taste for salt. |

It seems as though there is a lot more salt in Australian food than we have here. I have just checked out the items in my cupboard which are on their list and the salt content is about ΒΌ of the figure quoted. A slice of bread (Nimble wholemeal) is only 3% of recommended daily intake. |

More evidence that the Australians are even worse cooks than the English. Australia has been saved from being a gastronomic desert by the Vietnamese, Greeks, Italians, Chinese, Thais and so on and so forth. However away from the middle of big cities Oz is boring beyond belief with nothing to drink except deep frozen beer and little to eat beyond junk food and bbq anything that once moved. There is occasional excitement from the bush fires and bad tempered crocodiles, snakes and assorted insects which see the Ozzies as lunch (unsalted).. |

Mother in law used to add Soda to boiled greens during cooking, to preserve the colour. Conventional wisdom now says that it destroys the vitamin content. You'd only benefit from the 'roughage'. |

IGP, that could be due to your lifetime routine or your age. Our taste buds do change as we get older & we may need stronger flavours to enjoy our foods. OH smothers his food with freshly ground pepper! |

Most food cooked without salt is tasteless and insipid and no amount added at the table will compensate. |

We do need salt in our diet. The difficulty is getting the right amount! |
