Re: Culture shock...


It is a different way of doing things, isn't it? In our area, we have several small dispensing chemists or pharmacies that only otherwise sell otc medicines and a limited choice of toiletries. Because the big Tesco store about 5 miles away also has a pharmacy counter, I and other local residents feel that we must use our nearest small chemist in order to keep it open. There is always a queue and you actually have to wait ages to have your medicines dispensed and they won't allow you to collect your medicines unless the pharmacist is on the premises! The supermarket would be much quicker and more convenient, but we feel obliged to use the chemist. Daft, eh?

We had a lovely chat; only the second Catsey person I've talked to; did speak with Tom when he was in Florida in August. It was really nice to have a natter about all sorts of things!
But Leia refused to purr into the phone for her....

It is a shame Mags, but at least we can chat on the phone while I am here.....
Typical, I come all the way over here, and Princess Leia will not purr for me!
