Ask the pharmacist for one. It is odd though.

Do you not have a drawer full of the damn things??

Because we swig it from the bottle like the slatterns we are

Good question.

cos evvery adult I know just necks the stuff out of the bottle.

Probably because its very important its measured correctly, and us adults, well, perhaps they dont give a damn if we overdose ourselves
