Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Saline has an effect. It's minimal in the spray form. But any liquid that is safe can help a little. And at this time of year. Dehydration from fan heaters is a common cause.
So I'm not surprised the crap is sold. Just remember, boiled water with a tiny bit of salt will do as well. Often better.
I had a dive instructor who recommended snorting a bit of seawater if your nose was blocked and you couldn’t equalise. I’m not sure that’s good advice given the general contents of the sea, but it certainly worked :)
That's how you get brain eating bacteria.
The missus bought some salt specifically for saline rinse and they recommend not even using tap water in case it gives you an infection.
Shudder to think what you might get from Skeggy seawater.
Yeah at least if you live to far from the sea. tip some salt in the loo.
Just be sure not to flush first for the authentic experience.
