    Prescriptions aren't free just yet! - although they are only £5.00 per item and not the £6.75 for everyone else.
    (I don't care as I get free prescriptions anyway).

    Must be something about the English?
    The thing about the English that unites the Scots, Welsh and Irish is that the English aren't Scots, Welsh or Irish.
    It's Deja-vu all over again!
