Re: for the pill aficionado
What wrong with the uk is all the people blocking up the NHS for free pills they can buy for pennys.
Happens everywhere. I live in France, when I was going on a interesting (expensive) holiday to distant places I popped into the doctor for advice on vaccinations. left with a prescription for them, diahorrea tablets, water purifiers, even aspirin. All paid for by the taxpayers, despite the fact that if I could afford my non-essential holiday I could clearly afford to buy appropriate preventive non-essential medicines.
