It's now 6 days since I handed in my repeat prescription form, and the pharmacy still haven't been able to obtain one of the items from their supplier. What's the longest you've had to wait?
Never had to wait for anything. All the prescriptions I've ever had have been sorted there and then. Repeat prescriptions are I think 48 hours at my pharmacy. I don't know if they meet that target though, I've never had a repeat prescription.
There was a shortage of Typhoid booster immunisations early this year, we had to wait about two months for ours. Apparently there was a big duff batch withdrawn as it was not fully effective.

You're probably thinking of them organic medicines, Meldew. I'll grant you it might need a pharmer to plant and harvest those. Not the proper stuff though.
The last few days I've seen a lot of slugs, and a few snails, caught on paths in the full glare of the sun and cooked right there before they could escape.
