same as short men make quite good weightlifters , shorter muscles can create more pull or push force ( its probably an inverse square rule)

For others on Pharmacies in London we have some massive ones , I part I think to overseas persons living here who dont qualify for NHS stuff so lots of funny jabs for far away diseases and other health services selling well person checkups presumably reclaimable from Bupa membership and so forth.

Meningitis spread.
Messaging from Govt was it was a disease difficult to catch. The numbers reporting seem to show different. I dont blame the Govt as such but has the department of health been caught out in not working out what to do when incidencies start rising rapidly.

Back to general Pharmacy stuff . It does seem there are shortages , or erractic delivery of supplies , of certain medications. this may be change in demand (increasing) or brexit trade frictions.

The pre op appointment, for my cataract surgery, came through last night. April 16th so not long to wait. A friend of Paulette had hers done at the same clinic, they did the surgery the day after the pre op appointment so I will leave it all in the hands of the NHS

I remember it as being an exciting time Kev, even though in my case I got a complication....
On another matter, can you have a look at the image on Forgotten Corners please? Wendy and I think it's wrong and we need an image search if that's possible..... :good:

As Wendy says, nothing comes up so the image isn't online anywhere. I have done a bit more research and the results are in Forgotten Corners.
