The most useful contribution is a link to the current official page with the date you accessed it. That survives; a paraphrase does not.

On the opening post — agreed on the reasoning, with one qualification.

I keep a log for Irish differences specifically because my memory of it turned out to be systematically wrong in one direction. Six weeks of notes cost nothing and settled it.

Where I have landed on Irish differences, having got it wrong once in public: the direction is clear, the magnitude is not, and anyone quoting a precise magnitude has borrowed it from somewhere that did not measure it.

p.mbeki, post #5: Waiting times are the most variable and least generalisable thing reported here, and they are worth posting anyway with a region and a date. Adding the caveat now so it does not have to be extracted later. Go to post

Pharmacy practice varies between pharmacies and is not deducible from the regulatory position. Two people can honestly report opposite experiences.

Adding what did not work for me on Irish differences, since the failures never get written up and they are half the useful information.
