Some things have, I believe, legal limits for retail sale. Try buying

three packets paracetamol... I get paracetamol from Costco 24 packs

of 16 tabs "trade only".



Logical, I suppose. No one in trade ever tries to kill themselves. ;-)

I had teh same problem in sainsburys wanted to buy 3 packs 1 aprin 1 parcetomol and one nuerofen or whatever they are called the till girl said I can only buy 2 packets. The only reason I brought them was because all of mine were out of date the paracetomol was dated jan 2013 I had used two of them. Dates on the other boxes were all about the same.

Anyway what makes tehm think I'm trying to kill myself I can think of many other people I'd prefer to kill before myself.
