Earlier today, over a delicious breakfast at The Royal in Eastbourne, I said that I would not be spouting my opinions on this blog. But then I went shopping ……
It makes me so mad when I can’t go into a shop and buy more than two small packs of pain killers.
When I have a migraine it’s likely to last three days and I want to know that when I need a three-day supply of paracetamol they’ll be in the cupboard where they should be. However, there are five adults in the house, any one of whom might have a headache, or a cold, or a sore throat; so the chance of there being enough tablets available when I need them is remote.
I’ve been quizzed in Boots by the pharmacist, my husband was refused service when he queued behind me in the hope that between us we could buy a double ration and even the checkout operator in Tesco has refused to let me take three packs of Ibuprofen. In Poundland today I was told that I couldn’t buy some cough sweets and Lemsip together because of the amount of paracetamol in the combined items.
So who are these people who say I can’t buy the pain killers I want? Why can’t I buy any more than the single person who lives next door? I am an adult and no-one has the right to tell me what I can or can’t buy.
It makes me so mad!
