Also if there is evidence of use for more than 20 years but the path isn't recorded then it is possible to have it added to the Definitive Map now that use has been challenged.

Re: Insignificant Things That Make You Happy.
In the UK it was always at least 15 mins in chemist waiting for a prescription.
It's never more than a minute here
And at my local chemist, they've installed an auto jobby where the drugs come down these chutes. Quite cool

Re: Insignificant Things That Make You Happy.
In my chemist picking up the wifes prescription last week. Can i help you? before i even reached the counter. Yes please i am picking up a prescription for my wife. Name, address. Seconds later out the door. Take a prescription in and wait. Five minutes at most. I must be living in Paradise. No rain, no miserable people, Scottish football thugs and no alcohol.

Re: Insignificant Things That Make You Happy.
Talking repeats, i dont know if this is a UK wide thing but i can log into an NHS site and order my repeats. Wait two days and they are ready to be picked up.Mr. Dazzle wrote: Fri Mar 28, 2025 9:24 pm Same here in MK, I go in all the time for a couple of different repeats.

Re: Insignificant Things That Make You Happy.
I use what was Lloyds pharmacy but now Pharmacy2u for free delivery of prescriptions. They even remind me to order before I get low. I cant imagine going back to queuing up for a prescription. i am a child of the mail oder generation!

Re: Insignificant Things That Make You Happy.
Enterprise just dropped off the wife's hire car (cos her BMW broke down and it's under warranty).
The guy called to say he was here, I opened the front door to be greeted with an electric Fiat 500, I laughed my tits off.
Turns out that was the guy who was driving the delivery driver back to base. The actual car is a 530e Estate, boo.

Re: Insignificant Things That Make You Happy.
I hope you have a better experience from them than I usually have had.
Bald tyre, puncture, panel damage ...
Best one was someone had a car dropped off at a site out in the countryside. With '6 miles' showing in remaining range. Luckily, location was on top of hill and he coasted most of the way to the nearest petrol station.
Even bland can be a type of character

Him: "oh yeah, I better take a pic of that"

Re: Insignificant Things That Make You Happy.
The NHS App is being continually developed
You can order repeat prescriptions and get them delivered for free to your home. I can also log in on behalf of my children and order their prescriptions

Order repeats through the app, and send daughter to pick them up, doesn't cost me a minute in time
