hampsterkahn Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 The most remarkable thing about this young woman is that by appearance and descriptions of her character is that she is very remarkably unremarkable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairly sure she knew it too. And possibly exploited it. Some parents and families are calling for further historical investigation, possibly revealing earlier crimes she could've been responsible for. Part of her will enjoy the intense, new-found notoriety, imo. Edited August 22, 2023 by quilp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shake me up Judy Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 This warrants a separate thread really but I thought that phrase 'the grief collector' packed a lot of truth and meaning. I also wonder did she get some sort of twisted thrill over the power and control she had; her ability to manipulate the truth; to use the organisation's systems and to hide behind the uniform. In truth, she probably fitted the mould of a very old archetype - the pathological liar. Fantasists who get pleasure from fooling others and weaving spells of deceit. The thrill is in the danger of being found out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last I heard, Clear Pharmacy were taking on some (if not all) of the Lloyds pharmacies - I heard by the end of this month, maybe someone could confirm?

Thanks. The Onchan (Lloyds) branch is virtually empty and has been for quite a few days now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn’t much on the shelves at Victoria Road, Shopshite Store. I think most customers go in for prescriptions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditto the 3 Ramsey branches with the St Paul's shop rarely even open. The Shoprite branch seems to only have prescription customers using it out of convenience whilst at the supermarket?

Presumably Clear will stock up again when they move in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep - that affected everybody, nothing to do with Lloyd’s issues. Worldwide procurement problems, perhaps exacerbated in the UK by Brexit-related issues - and affecting the island by extension (since most of the island’s stock will come from the UK).

Wasn't there a period of time not so long ago when LLoyds were struggling to employ sufficient pharmacists as well? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s hope so. I use the pharmacy in big Shoprite Ramsey. Not so many months ago they were struggling. Peoples prescriptions not being there, huge queues etc, none of which seemed to be their fault. The last few months have been fine. Staff always cheery and helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
