My Local pharmacist is selling Paracetamol at £5.99 for 16 tablets, ok they are branded but just done my on-line Asda order and theirs are still 30p for 16 these obviously are unbranded.
Still you can't blame them for making the most of a bad situation, morals do not make a successful businessman as my old business teacher used to try to drum into us. Your customers are there for you to take for as much as possible not to be their friend.
Now we are seeing that more and more.

My old Mum loved fig rolls, always gave her the two bob bits though
Aside from any aspects of morality (or humaneness), that is such a fundamentally BAD approach to *long term* business success! So I'm afraid, Paul, your old business teacher was giving you very bad advice indeed, unless the goal was simply to 'make a fast buck and run'...
Other than that, successful businesses, with LONGEVITY, are built on good [mutually respectful] customer relationships. FACT.

What im not getting is asking for 250,000 NHS volunteers, that is 250,000 people not in their homes - potential deaths & spreading. No way would i do it, its basically like WW1 sending thousands of soldiers onto a battle field knowing full well they wont return. One person with corona can spread it to 400 people in a month. The massive shortage of NHS staff & beds is well documented & could have been sorted years ago.
A lot of things all non sensical to me with the Gov, I know full well they are thinking about the economy, Never trust a Politician. STAY IN YOUR HOMES is the message innit!
I have two priority. Looking after the Health of myself & the other half. I wont be selfish towards others but im certainly not going to risk my health & life. The other half however is putting both our life at risk working for the NHS as a nurse, that im utterly not happy about, but it her job & im proud of her. She was in a right state last night crying.
