Why would you want to? Well a number of independent pharmacist shops carry a surprising range of goods that are of interest to the likes of us. Sadly though there's no handy list that we can consult
Open up Yell and enter a search for business type "Pharmacist" and pick the area of interest - in sparse areas (for example - like most of Scotland) a town or county works, otherwise use the first part of a postcode.
From the results, discard any Boots, Superdrug, Alliance, Tesco, Asda, Sainsburys, Morrisons or similar (Vantage is another pharmacy group/chain, but around here at least they seem to carry other items of interest to the traditional shaver) - this should slim your list appreciably. If you do this and post the results to me, I can add it to my monster list of pharmacies which is available as a google document here.
Beware though - if Yell think you're abusing their database by trying to use it too thoroughly, they can and will ban your IP from using it, which is a pain in the bum for people like me with static IP.
