I have legacy asthma and each year get a replacement for a related inhaler off the good old NHS.
ReplyDeleteOne time I noticed that said inhaler (which, as a working taxpayer, I have to pay a standard charge for, £8.20) was empty and took it back to the pharmacy for replacement.
"Oh dear", she drolled
"You'll have to go back to the Doctor and get another prescription..."
I tried quoting the Sale Of Goods Act and pointing that the (empty)inhaler was 'not fit for purpose'.
"Complain all you like darlin', it's not a sale, it's a Tax."
They amount to the same. The money they get and then they can spend spend and spend some more. Crooks.
ReplyDeleteHave a terrific day. :)
