Drugs: the bottom line

No, not a comment on the eloquent David Nutt's disgraceful sacking. Much more prosaic.

A packet of 16 soluble aspirin from Boots. 79p. A bargain, I thought.

A packet of 16 soluble aspirin (Aspro) from a corner shop. £2.49. Not really surprising.

A packet of 16 'dispersible aspirin' (no fizz) from Tesco. 16p. Don't know what to say.

You can see that, though you lead a restricted life with swine flu, it isn't entirely without interest.
