I was telling a colleague yesterday of me losing one of my insulin pens, I'll tell of the grump as an aside.
I have a repeat prescription with this item on it, phoned my local pharmacist and explained I have the repeat but no signed prescription. I use their pharmacy and have a 'loyalty' card stating that I regularly collect these items. The doctors was closed so could I have one of the items and owe them the prescription, apparently this was only possible if i was a lazy bastard and got them to collect my prescriptions. I asked the price to purchase one (as I would hand over ?7.20 not to feel like shite for the night) and was told ?42.
A bit surprised I offered to leave ?42 as a deposit and collect when returning a prescription the next day, to be told "we don't handle cash" as I heard the till ringing. Tossers!
So, back to the point, my colleague couldn't believe the item was ?42 and chucked the named item into google.
People are selling them on eBay, seriously!
I've just put a repeat in for 10 items...
