Had a terrible time in Tesco's trying to buy Night Nurse for a poorly sick daughter, think it would be esaier to buy class A drugs, total interigation

Lol you are jokin right?

I always used to get it from various pharmacy's and would get a bit of an interrogation and unwanted advice. I never told them it was just to drug myself asleep.

If you bought something over the counter and it harmed your daughter it would be a different kind of criticism wouldn't it.

hey bert, if it was harmful i`m pretty sure it wouldn`t be an over the counter medicine, whats it for anyway?

Its a cold remedy sort of thing and has paracetamol in, it can be dangerous if taken along with other certain drugs, thats why they ask questions.

They won't sell me Night Nurse because it affects blood pressure.
People do abuse it, also. Keith Chegwin was addicted to it.

He drank 6 bottles of it a day (seriously) as well as lots of booze.

Flaming hell,I didn't know that he drank that much N.N

Jesus H!. One of the recommended doses makes you feel like a zombie for 48 hours. I used to just swallow a cap full.

It's a real problem especially with old people who (ladies) also consume up to 6 bottles a day and struggle to find places to buy it and not appear suspicious. Because it's "medicine" they kid themselves it's OK. I saw a documentary not so long ago and I was shocked. Smackheads also consume large quantities when they are trying to kick heroin.

Hilarious, carry on

how do u take it, do u smoke it, burn it, inject it or just simply pop it... can see an opening in the market around here haha, plenty of people to give it to. imagine if we kept them all bnight nursed up, crime rates would drop dramatically

In an ideal world tone haha

it would really work though.

I know someone who keeps a stash of N.N for when she 'on one'. She justs necks the old N.N and blocks the world out. It's the U.Ks version of Vicodin!!!!

I used to buy Collis Browne mixture if I was going abroad. If you had a bad tummy or a cold, after a couple of swigs and a sleep you were fine. Unfortunately for us old ones, the young ones found they could get high on it, so now you have to sign for it, and one of the ingredients has been taken out.
It used to have opium, morphine and I another strong drug and had been used since Crimea war as a 'cure-all'

well my daughter is 27 and after a fab nights kip feels much better today, just had a look on amazon and you can buy NN on line, can't imagine drinking 6 bottles a day, makes you feel all woolly headed after 2 teaspoons
