Not as high as a good brandy.

[GROWLER]

Well, just 1 day to go I reckon, and I'll be in the clear this time hopefully.

Back and legs are aching like 'ell, but that's probably down to walkin' up me 'ill in the snow this avvy. Had to walk like a bloody disabled penguin it was that slippy.
 Beautiful though , and I daresay the well below freezin' tempearature up there probably killed off any lurkin' bugs.

Basically correct. Your standard cold lasts for about a week to ten days from first niggle to final snot blowing session.
Man flu lasts about the same, but is subject to much whinging and whining for many months afeter, about just how bad it was.

Influenza, the real thing, lasts for approx 2/3 weeks of pure unadulterated misery, and then about another 2/3 weeks of getting your energy back if you've survived.
