The problem is here that when you have a stomach upset - suddenly everyone is a doctor and they search out pills that they last used before the millennium and get quite hurt when you refuse to take them. Actually it is most unusual for people here to buy an entire packet of pills as they are priced individually. Therefore when they are prescribed (by the pharmacist) you don't get the leaflet that is in the box and normally it is nearly impossible to know what the tablets are a couple of weeks down the line. I refuse to take anything that I can't identify or find a reference for on Wikipedia.

Line failed overnight on 6/7th, fault reported on Thursday morning, 1st engineer called on Monday who then found the service between the telegraph pole and the cabinet 800 yards away under muddy ground. Needless to say it took another day and prodded buttock before another engineer started work on resolving fault.

OMG domonijo, my kids would have gone feral with no Internet for nearly a week.
