As an added bonus, straight after your wine etc, swish your mouth out with water. This will do wonders to help remove the harmful acids, sugars and bacteria that would otherwise be stuck to your teeth. But a word of caution: with some meals you should never brush straight after, as you'll do more harm than good. Just swish with water and brush two times a day (especially at night) and you'll be fine. When brushing, spit out the fluoride.. it's better than swishing with water unless you're a minor in which case swish.</content></entry><entry><id>tag:grumpy.blog.co.uk,2013-01-06:/2008/12/16/gr8-innit-5228972/#c18709427</id><title>In response to:GR8 INNIT?</title><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://grumpy.blog.co.uk/2008/12/16/gr8-innit-5228972/#c18709427"/><author><name>eoauk</name></author><published>2013-01-06T19:52:58+01:00</published><updated>2013-01-06T19:52:58+01:00</updated><content type="html">The url above changed to: www.orhanseyfiari.com&lt;br&gt;

You will have to move a few hundred miles North for economic living!&lt;br&gt;

The good side - we are very close to open countryside, there are big open skies. The land coved by mining activity is now reclaimed into Country Parks. The new housing developments are bought by the Commuting workforce. I would not want to live anywhere else now.&lt;br&gt;
