Early customers find Boots closed - Local - Mid Sussex Times

Published on Monday 27 February 2012 13:21

Early shoppers at Boots in South Road, Haywards Heath, found the store closed this morning.

A sign on the door said: “Due to unforseen circumstances we do not have a pharmacist at present and so are unable to open this store.

“The store will open as soon as a locum pharmacist arrives, unfortunately we don’t yet know what time this will be.

“We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank our customers for their patience.” The store later opened.

The store opened later! Never saw that twist coming!

They're not afraid to tell it like it is, no matter how unpalatable.

I salute them.

Was that photo taken at the scene, or is it a stock image? It looks like it could've turned pretty nasty.

In the words of Viz: 'it's all kicking off in Haywards Heath'

Its probably the most interesting thing to have happened in Haywards Heath this year. I do enjoy "Duck walks down street" headlines.

Did your unusual lunch choice make the Late Night Final?

Did Phil dennet write that? Speaking from personal experience, that bloke is a c**t!

This cutting edge reporting would be banned in China!

Blimey. You turn your back for five minutes and the whole world comes crashing down. What's going on there then?

Front page of the Daily Mail tomorrow. Guaranteed.

I thought "HAYWARDS HEATH WOMAN ON TV SHOW" could never be topped in the Midsussex Time dramatic headline stakes.

I was wrong. So, so wrong.

Yes, this has topped everything in Mid Sussex. Even that 'Micky Adams setting up a love-nest in Burgess Hill' story.

Did they blag the article off this site:-

Haywards Heath - at your service

It is the sort of cutting edge stuff they feature on there and well worth 10' idle browsing.

 

[Frutos]

Probably the most exciting story the Middy has ever reported on.

Twitter sensation apparently...

Would they have got more tweets if the headline had been "Woman from 70's sitcom spotted in South Road?"

Has order been restored? Does an uneasy calm lie over the streets of Haywards Heath this morning?

Afraid not Tom. None of us can leave our houses due to hundreds of international reporters outside our doors. It's the kids I feel sorry for. When will it all end? If anyone can organise some any aid, it would be appreciated. Cheers.
