be to be totally honest we would ask a few questions if someone was buying that drug and as the customer was buying for someone else and clearly had no idea what it was for or even what it actually was (tablets, cream or liquid) I wouldnât have been able to sell it anyway but I was pleased that he went away empty handed after his insults.Â
Regardless of the rights and wrongs, forums like this are too public and there are some really nasty people trolling about looking for trouble. I'm sure you behaved responsibly and don't doubt you were - and often are - under provocation. I still think it unwise to put quite so much specific detail on here and I would - seriously - ask admin to delete or abridge your OP.

22 eevil weevils tonight. A new personal best. Although a new personal worst at the same time The place is crawling with them and I bet I could find the same number again if I didn't have to do vital things like sleep.
Wouldnât it be better in the long run to invest in some nematodes.Â
I will treat the pots with nematodes in the autumn and spring and hopefully kill some of the grubs but the weevils seems to be all over the garden so I'd never be able to deal with the infestation using just nematodes.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
When we moved here in 2011 we found a large 20m x 3m shady area to be totally infested with vine weevils ... we did two applications of nematodes the following year and that worked like a dream ... we didnât have any sign of them again until last summer so we applied nematodes again. No more problem.
It seems expensive to treat a large area but when you average if out over six years itâs very reasonable indeed and it worked đÂ

Wish there were nematodes for lily beetles my lilies e are completely ruined at the allotment. Horrible creatures! I donât kill much but I kill them!Â
We have a miserable old git who once complained to head office because someone greeted him at the till with " Good morning ,how are you?" He said it was none of anyone's business how he was. The joys of retail.
Our local BHS had a 'greeter' stood just inside the main entrance. Every time anybody went in it was the same "Good morning/afternoon, enjoy your visit" or similar twaddle and as anybody left it was "Goodbye, hope to see you again soon". It drove me nuts so God knows what it must have been like for staff hearing it possibly hundreds of times a day. That sort of insincere greeting would make a saint swear.
I have a spot of occasional eczema or similar on my 3rd finger, right hand. It does not like fresh tomatoes!! Been cutting some up to make a big pot of passata. Remind me to wear CSI gloves next time.
