Inconsistency. One of my pet dislikes came into focus yesterday. For several years we have bought medicine for Minnie from pharmacies in France. It's a medicine that theoretically requires a prescription. Having said that we have asked for it over the counter many times and been given it without a script (it's much cheaper in France).
Yesterday, after buying some in Nimes (we needed more but couldn't wait to have it ordered), we went to the pile em high pharmacy in Quissac and the server was adamant that I had to have a script despite having bought from them before without one. So far so inconsistent. So off we went to our old vets and met up with Serge, our favourite, flamboyant, gay vet hoping to get him to give us one.
'I don't know this stuff,' said Serge, who was mid injecting another animal. 'Does it work,' he said to me.
'Yup,' I said.
'Ok,' he said, and then he told the receptionist to write one out for whatever I wanted.
Now that's the sort of service I like!
So French !!
