Sensible. I did this once. Not out of a desire for vengeance but simply because a less careful patient might have come to grief. In my part of London, there are heaps of elderly Bengali ladies who can’t read or even speak English and who trust professionals not to mess with their survival chances.

Relieved. But … Pharmacists have just one thing to do, albeit repeatedly. If they can’t do it right, the consequences could be appalling. It’s pure fluke that they weren’t. Even if you’re cool about it, you might want to report it to the Royal Pharmaceutical Society. The public need protection.

I haven’t. This is the first time I came across this. But now I want to read them.

We’re the same age. Someone recently called me “young man”. Twice. I’m am much less well preserved than you, though.

🤣 But I think the one in your picture is not UK either. Probably Catholic Book Publishing Company USA. The font is very particular. Also, whilst the art on the left-hand page is rather nice, the strip at the top of the right-hand page shows a certain … lapse.
