    Now Now...... don't you know we need "Them & Us" Hospitals as well as every other public service here in Norn Iron....

    Not in the north down locale. I once met someone from millisle who'd never met a catholic.

    Now here is the thing. One tablet I have to take I was on the generic version, no problem if it works I take. So repeat prescription for the past two months and no one can get the generic version so they have to give me the brand name. Tried a few chemists and told the wholesaler cannot get stock.

    This happens sometimes. Presumably the chemist can claim for the branded drug cost if no wholesalers have the generic.

    They had probably met loads unawares. Not everyone comes up to you and says 'hello I'm a Catholic' even if they are! :rotfl:

    Are you confusing them with Jehovah's witnesses? Or Mormons?

    They are still around. Pleasant and gentle folks, but I admit to dodging them! :D:D

    Two came to our house the other night.

    "We've a message for you, brother." They'd clearly come to the wrong house - I wasn't their brother.

    Strange about that. With my chemist they say it's harder to get the named brand at the moment than the generic.

    Wonder if it has something about the original protected license allowing anybody to make it without paying a royalty having now run out.

    Surely that ought to make it easier to get the generic?
