£50 for four Viagra, these consumers are certainly being "stiffed".   [;D]

The more interesting point is that I heard they were advertised for sale starting on the 14th February, and they had a rush of customers, who were then told that while they could book a consultation with the pharmacist (apparently a requirement), actual sales would not start until the 15th February.
