Something I was also well used to in the prison......although the largest percentage of fits were caused by drug habits. I was always glad when we got into the cells and helped before their cell mates started sticking spoons in their mouth, etc!! It's frightening how many people still think you do things like thatWe had one girl that was so bad we used to have to be there while the nurse gave her rectal valium......thank God these days are gone!
Putting something in their mouths to stop them biting their tongues was taught as part of first aid training in the 1960's when I last did first aid and basic nursing.

Having bitten through the handle of a wooden spoon, the best advice I can give is don't go near the mouth. You might end up a finger short.

My memory may be defective on this point, but I think I remember being taught that it was to prevent the person swallowing their tongue. Of course we now know that putting a person in the recovery position is sufficient.

Correct - swallowing their tongue and blocking the airway.
Oh and I've been for a walk

Don't mention roughage.
Yesterday, Mrs @BoldonLad bought a rather nice pack of grapes from M&S Food Store.
I have to admit, I could not resist eating them.
Later in the day, we went out for our daily walk, had to almost run the last few hundred yards. Those grapes work!
OK, too much information, I know
I had a pack of chocolate raisins yesterday, the fall out today has been almost nuclear.
Oh dear.....I may have a problem then

It does happen if you get a Fisher Price Shape Sorter stuck up your arse. DIY Toblerone anyone?

Well thats the shopping done, the oven cleaned and the next job is getting the bin in, you lot don't arf spout some hot air! 
I'm away for a morning and find I've got 7 pages to catch up on. The good news is that my Good Lady is due back home next week, the bad news, I was told this morning, is our spare bed isn't good enough, my Good lady has to have a hospital bed, so Monday they are going to install a hospital bed in our lounge, which should be entertaining, so I've just got the weekend to clear a space and get rid of our old settee.

Did you know that you can't actually swallow your tongue, but as a muscle, if you are unconscious the tongue will relax and can block the airway hence why you use the recovery position so the tongue falls forward.

Good news indeed!
As the weather is due to be rubbish tomorrow, I am going to attempt making marmalade. I have bought 2kg of Seville oranges and I have plenty of sugar, including a bag of jam making sugar. I also have enough jars, so what could possibly go wrong?🤔
