As some may (or may not know) for some unknown reason us lucky folks in sunny Huncoat (Village that is) are getting a new pharmacy. Now don't get me started on this rant.

Well it is due to open on Monday and today when I went to the postbox I noticed they were stocking up the shelves in readiness.

Well my partner, on his way home from work, called at the shop to get some milk and guess what? Its been burgled already!

Well I guess it wouldn't take long, after all it is only a house converted into a shop, there is no proper roller shutter door and no camera installed. Apparently the Police were at the shop because he has CCTV installed.

Now I can't personally see the point of this pharmacy. If I need a prescription I go into town. If I run out of shampoo/paracetamol/calpol, I go to the shop.

They close down the Post Office and then open a pharmacy. yes I know they are two different businesses in two different (slightly different locations, about 5 doors away from each other) but if a PO can't survive, what hope does a chemist have?

Ok rant over. Thank you for reading.
