Dear Tesco The Pharmacist,
When I asked my husband to pick up some Lemsips for me on his way home from work I expected him to arrive with lemon flavoured cold remedies which, while not dealing with my runny nose can be made into a warm, comforting drink which deals adequately with the aches associated with my cold. I am exceedingly disappointed that you asked him for my symptoms, most of which he didn't know and then insisted he bought a pseudoephedrine based medicine in tablet form instead on the basis that I have a runny nose and a sore throat (I don't, he was guessing at that point).
I know the drug is working because I have a very dry mouth and throat and a thumping headache, still got a runny nose, still sneezing and my eyes are watering madly again. On the plus side Vernon's hot honey and lemon drink with a pinch of cinnamon is much nicer (and cheaper) than Lemsip so that's another thing we won't be buying from you again.
