3. I've been told about this new cream that'll restore the follicles that went raw & cracked with the recent exposure to all of that cold Yorkshire weather recently (my own fault - I never wore a hat). It's very expensive, and I'm told you have to use it repeatedly for it to work, so before I buy, I wondered if anyone here ha tried it. Did you like it?
5. Should I buy shares in UK travel agents offering expensive packages to South Africa this July?

We didn't get past the first paragraph to continue the metaphor!
