They are probably trained, or manufactured like the Stepford wives, to look and act like that.Natalie d'Arbeloffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07757081405040926647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644918126688721788.post-26648716622658771082013-06-20T16:30:47.728+01:002013-06-20T16:30:47.728+01:00All: Our experiences that led us to conclude that ...All: Our experiences that led us to conclude that a high proportion of <i>pharmaciennes</i> were impeccably if improbably made up, expensively and crystallograohically coiffed, given to silence and the witholding of information, snooty, and living above their intellectual means were based on a series of grands tours (clockwise and anti-clockwise) of l'Hexagone starting in the late eighties, leading to decade when we owned a house in Loire Atlantique and succeeded up to the present day by the rental of a series of villas mainly in the south-west. Plus an overlapping couple of decades involving ski holidays spent in French or French-speaking ski resorts If this is anecdotal evidence then it's anecdotal evidence.<br /><br />Tom: Glad you were temporarily delighted, even if the most recent post may have left you off remission. Have you ever considered that the ripping off in British healthcare might have started further up the chain - notably with those oh-so-philanthropic suppliers?<br /><br />RW (zS): The little finger would make an admirable pendant for a fine gold necklace. As to beer, we drink mainly Leffe which must never be pronounced as if in German. Otherwise you're likely to get coffee.<br /><br />Sir Hugh: One <i>hirondelle</i> doesn't make an <i>été</i>.<br /><br />LM: The <i>pharmacienne</i> smiled secretly when I made that very remark.<br /> <br /><br /><br /> Roderick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828395545197001637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644918126688721788.post-58213055845626520402013-06-20T12:10:06.088+01:002013-06-20T12:10:06.088+01:00Cartwheels down the street are the alignment of th...Cartwheels down the street are the alignment of the day.

I was impressed when they had them in stock and for no extra cost offered to cut them to match the shape of my varifocals while we waited.Sir Hughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908756392825206914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644918126688721788.post-36128654814384867372013-06-19T22:27:41.436+01:002013-06-19T22:27:41.436+01:00Well, I've caught up with the adventures and e...Well, I've caught up with the adventures and encounters in Frankreich.

Cartwheels down the street are the order of the day. However, never having had any problems with pharmacies, I cannot say I am overly surprised, except at the price which seems to be ridiculously low. It does give some indication as to how the NHS is ripping off the taxpayer in the UK. <br /><br />Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09028121782477111901noreply@blogger.com
