I don’t like to be dramatic (I say, clutching a Lemsip and rummaging for a blister pack of ibuprofen like it’s a lost credit card), but I genuinely don’t understand how people function without a portable medicine cabinet on them at all times.
I am the person in the office who, when a colleague mutters the word “headache” or sneezes with a little too much flair, is already halfway across the room with a selection of remedies fanned out like a magician’s deck. Do you want paracetamol or ibuprofen? Soluble or swallowable? Decongestant spray or herbal oil? I’ve got you.
