Park strife as Tesco pharmacies takes the strain
DURING the last two weeks of Wimbledon and World Cup action, sales of pain relief gels, rubs and ointments at Tesco pharmacies soared by 40 per cent compared with the week before.
A spokesman explains: “It’s been a common sight in parks and open spaces: middle-aged men enjoying their first kickabout or tennis match in ages.
“For many who haven’t kept toned up, it usually ends with them creasing up in pain while attempting to emulate the dynamic wizardry of Lionel Messi, Ronaldo or David Villa.” Oh dear!
