On a rathermore serious level, I need to bring the mood down a notch in the lace-up boot hole and make a vaguely political remark. Boots have been bitchin' about lost profits. Blaming it rather all-encompassingly (?) on the big supermarkets cutting them up at the counter. (Well that's my expression and I'm sticking to it). They can't compete with the likes of Sainsbury and Tesco. Well matey I have news for Boots. They might make a bit more money if they sold things that other small chain-free chemists stock as a matter of routine (nevermind the biggies like S & T). The other day I went into my local Boots and wanted some Canderel. It's hardly the holy grail or the Turin shroud I was asking for! I also asked for the Listerine breath strips (not for me, it was for a friend - honest). They don't stock them. Quelle surprise! I had to go (not to the huge cost-cutting cut-throats namely S & T but) to the afore-mentioned chain-free chemist down the ginnel. They only thing Boots stock these days is corn plasters, well if you wear kinky boots what do you expect?
