I'm Sarah. I'm a Brit who fled to Portugal on account of Brexit, increasing intolerance and the British weather. I like climbing (although I can't do much any more for health reasons) and sailing. This is a Friendica account. Friendica is kinda like Facebook as Mastodon is kinda like Twitter, except they can talk to each other.

Everyone: Covid is spiking! Wear a facemask!

Boots: Masks? Masks? Sell masks? What do you imagine us to be, a pharmacy or some such?!?

You can tell how Boots is not a pharmacy by them deliberately not selling Sudafed in UK, where Sudafed is a regulated as an OTC medicine.

@riley *blink* my Boots had both phenylephrine and pseudoephidrine versions last time I wanted some (about 6 weeks ago). You have to ask for the latter from a locked cupboard though.

Ah. Interesting to know.

It's been a while since I last visited UK, so perhaps they have changed their policies.

Replacing pseudoephedrine with phenylephrine in the hope that people would confuse the polysyllabic names that both abbreviate as PE is still a dirty trick.
