ASDA Southampton No pharmacist this week for pills !

[Frenchie]

Title says it all really .. just a heads up ... Had to drive to Eastleigh where the older Nigerian chap was helpful but hard work ! I think it was the first time he'd filled out the questionairre on the computer .

Asked ME the price of the tablets . I thought £9 ...for eight tablets  . He shrugged his shoulders and agreed ..
I then asked him if I could have sixteen tablets (100 mill ).

Again after scratching his head he said he'd have to check if he could dispesne that many .. I don't think he ever did !

He was friendly and helpful .. but a bit confused ..

Still an easy process .. I even had a nice conversation with the lady on the counter .. I'm not at all embarrassed about things   like this ....

So for twenty minutes of my time, and £18 later I walked out with 16 tablets (generic viagra sildenafil ). That should  last me.

Out of interest whilst on holiday recently Mrs Frenchie requested a bout ( first time in THREE YEARS !) .. but I obliged  using a genuine blue viagra  free sample from years ago ) .... got to say I was rock  hard ! .. Got one left which I will be using this Friday with my regular to compare results ..... Will let you know .

After a chat recently with my local pharmacy, it seems the government plan to chop around 3000 pharmacies from the NHS dispensing list as from October. Probably also have a certain effect on those still around to make up private prescriptions as well

Frenchie, you lucky dog!  fortune favours the brave.
Went to my local in Litherland about sildenafil 2 months ago. Counter woman in her fifties asks what's that love? Was stumped then in a shop full of people. She decides i'm deaf and shouts at me "SID-DID-NA-FILL, WHAT'S IT FOR ?"
My reply 'don't u know?' This stumps her. So she turns round and shouts even louder to chemist way back of the shop "SANJEV, MAN HERE , ASKING FOR SID-INNA-FILL"
Now getting the vibe that she is on a wind up, so snap at her, 'Forget it.' and walk.
Can u nominate a chemist for closure? - i can think of one.

My local Asda pharmacy has a small consulting room at the side so I ring up (got them in my phone list as "Sid"!) and check The Pharmacist is in and then I go up to counter and say I'd like to see the pharmacist discretely in the consulting room please. The staff then seem to go into a very quiet, professional and earnest mode and quickly open up the room for me with no fuss or mucking about.

Yep that's what I do. You can call any Asda with a pharmacist and ask to be put through to that department. Then you can actually arrange a time for the consultation. Saves the risk of being turned away if they're busy when you get there or if the pharmacist on duty is not trained / allowed to dispense the medication.
