No complaints here. I'm not sure what an "English Chemists" is in this context, but they do indeed…read morespeak English, and can sort your hacking TB-style cough out with a smile. Which is fortunate, as Germany has a unique policy of not letting you buy drugs in normal shops - well, apart from alcohol of course, which you can buy practically anywhere.
Interesting enough though, any mention of Lemsip brings a blank stare. Perhaps this wonder-drug isn't available in Germany?
