Its ...the Boy with the Topknot by Sathnam Sanghera. I have got it as a gift for people many times over and also replace mine when they take it too.
Real life moving story with a lot of humour by a sikh Times newspaper journalist. First time I read a book I could relate to.
I had a look on Amazon - it looks like an enjoyable and interesting read. I'll have to see if my library stocks it.Quote:

I think.grass pollen is most common allergen.Quote:

If u put Allergic Rhinitis into search u might
find helpful info on.a health website.
I hope a solution is found for daughter soon.
My sister was told years ago when a teenager
that she was allergic to.her own perpiration!!
It caused dreadful rashes etc but it did stop.
The human body can do strange things.

Have you given up your telly work Parkerman?
I hope your daughter's feeling better. I've been having hay fever symptoms recently, and my asthma's been worse than usual (same for my mum), so we must be allergic to grass pollen too. It may be worse than usual this year due to the mild October we've experience.Quote:

I did'nt know they had pomegranates in Britain that early on. I thought they came from abroad.
