Sir, I can visit one pub and drink myself into a coma. I can purchase 200 cigarettes and smoke the lot in one day (if I so choose).
However, if I wish to purchase two tubes of anti-fungal foot cream from a pharmacy in Wallingford, I am told I am only allowed to purchase one.
When I asked why I was told that I should seek medical advice if I needed that much. I am not diabetic or overweight and I am healthy — the problem is that the weather is hot and my foot is itchy!
I am not going to eat the product and I doubt even if I used the whole tube on my body in one go that it would do me any harm.
Has the world gone completely topsy turvy, or I am I wrong?!
