Im not one to moan and complain

Jump to newest
 

By (user no longer on site) OP   
over a year ago

So I woke up yesterday with abit of a head ache and feeling all cold in the bones like. Recognised the symptoms at once that I had a cold coming on. So I just took a couple of paracetamoland soldiered on cos I mean im not one to complain me you no.

Woke up this morning head ache gone but still cold in the bones and a sore throat coming on with blocked up nose. Again I just soldiered on all day cos I mean im not one to complain me you no.

So I goes to Asda this evening ( of course other supermarkets are available folks but I was passing this one at the time so there ya go hey). Anyhow I goes in and straight to the medicine shelfs cos I mean I dont need ask the pharmacy wench for advice as well letts face it im not one to moan and complain me you no. Anyhow I notice the beachams thingy majigs cold n flu whatsitts at £3 pound odd and then the day n night nurse umpty ma doo das at £4pound odd. Then I notices Asdas own brand of tickle tackle at a mere 55p. So I has a little thought n ponder as you do with plenty of sucking of the teeth and over acted blows n puffs n pants like it was almost the end of the world as my demented mind new it.

I thinks to my self you no what lad I dont think theres any difference at all in these things apart from the price so I went to wench behind medicine counter to see if she could concurr ( cos im a right cheeky fucker me ast tell thee!). Anyhow she asks me if im ok n I says well abit of man flu luv but I just soldier on me cos im not one to complain you no.

Forty five minuets later of me giving her all my symptoms and thoughts of the day on every thing and anything. Inculding the knights of kneeee and my theory on how exactly they earth a submarine and just who did shoot JR. The wench behind the medicine counter (who I must say for an older bird was well worth one and had clearly kept in great shape and looked after her self)agreed with me that the tablets were indeed pretty much exactly the same and I would be wise to choose the 55p ones.

So my question I spose is this yeah. Tell me this and tell me no more folks why pay for a dead dear brand when the cheap own brands will do just the same thing???

I have taken 2 of the feckers by the way and am going to get wrapped up warm shortly. I expect to make a full recovery as I just soldier on really cos I mean im not one to complain you no me!

does that logic only apply to pills...

say if you wanted a ... i said !!! would you want a /pepsi.. or supermarket own....

or what about something like... tomato ketchup.... again supermarket own or that brand called heinz....

it can apply to a lot of things out there..... I don't think you could skimp on almost everything....

somethings like pharmaceutical products have exactly the same ingredients in if you look, in exactly the same amounts...other not so...but i would agree about the pills wholeheartedly

I rarely use name brands, find they are too expensive and cheaper brands often work just as well or taste better/just as good

Now, forgive me, but it's selfish bastards like the OP who make it worse for the rest of us.

How so?

The price difference between expensive pharmaceuticals and the cheap ASDA generics is made up of two things; the cost of sales reps and adverts.

If pharmaceutical reps weren't flogging over priced cac to shops they'd be coming round the doors flogging brushes and soap - who'd want that? And everyone I know who watches ITV says the adverts are the best bit, so if we all buy the cheap drugs and put the expensive firms out of business we'll get dodgy chancers selling brushes door to door and lose all the best bits off ITV.

Down with this sort of thing....

Wow wee I wonder what this mon does for a living then hey. Erm I dont really feel the need to justify my self to a shadow but whilst its Tuesday I will humour you with a quick answer.

Ok then so given the choice of 3 seperate products al doing exactly the same thing. With all the all the same tickle tackle in to help sooth ones every growing man flu symptoms. Only difference is the price and a big difference. Who would not choose the cheaper one???

This mon must either be loaded with nowt else to do with his money but throw it down the drain as a matter of principle. Or he works for a pharmacy tickle tackle thingy da doooo das.

Either way I care not people as when a mans got man flu the whole world as he knows it comes to an end around him.

Update well the sore throat is feeling abit better and headache now going. I think I will stay in bed for a few hours longer today just cos I can. Wish I could reach this Tv remote as its at other side of the room and I will have to get up and put one foot in front of tuther to fetch it now.

But I mean im not one to complain me you no!

Heinz Beans and no other.

HP sauce and no other

Kellogs Rice Krispies/Cornflakes and no other

Country Life Butter and no other.

..as for pharmaceuticals... cheapeast I can get cos 500mg of whatever is still 500mg of whatever regardless of the packaging you put around it.

Ok quick update I have managed to drag my self out of bed and have a good shower. Put the kettle on all by my self and made coffee times one. Operated the toaster single handed whilst putting ham n cheese at the ready with the other hand. Knock at the door and some alright looking bird from a parcel firm with next doors package can I hold it for them as they aint in.

Well I have managed to muster up the strengh to chat to her for a good five mins as I mean im not one to complain you no that. One just has to soldier on. Poor girl couldnt get away quick enough. Maybe I should have put mi dressing gown back on or even wrapped up with a towel before I answered that door hmmmm and what with this weather outside I may catch a blimmin cold. DOH

Wonder whats in this package then would love to open it and take a peep haha
