A real moment

Little André was at the hotel in London and decided to ask the receptionist:
- Where can I find a drugstore near here? smile
The receptionist coldly replied. yuck
- A pharmacy?
- No, no, a drugstore. cool

STORY'S MORAL: English language has many variations, but the most important is the communication.

cheers

Let's laugh a little bitBelieve it or not

I would have thought in England she would have said, The Chemist?

Andredecaspecht Saturday, May 15, 2010 1:13:53 AM

Actually I knew it wasn't drugstore.. but I was a tourist there, she would have to treat me better p
and I also heard about Chemist.. but I don't know.

I think they use the terms interchangeably

Andredecaspecht Saturday, May 15, 2010 1:29:06 AM

according to Mister Google, pharmacy and chemist's store are the same and they use both terms there.
