Stop saying Brufen. Nobody has called it that since domesday you old fashioned fool. I-BU-PRO-FEN.

And call it a prescription. NOT a script. It isn't hard.

This really makes me grit my teeth. It is like they have their own little health care word clique.

Oh am I coming across as a miserable cow?

Watch out for Daily Mail tomorrow '2 pharmacy assistants assaulted by crazed woman in unprovoked act of random violence'

Lots of people round these here parts call it brufen. I just assume they like to miss out whole chunks of words and join in. I make no sense and they leave baffled but hey, that'll learn 'em.

No, this cos they are STUPID but in a manner designed to exclude.

They always ask me if I am asthmatic as if they CARE.

Next time I ask for ibuprofen I am going to make up a myriad of things which I suffer from, such as heart flutters and gallopping dandruff, make 'em work.
