Herbert & Herbert Pharmacy & Travel Clinic

Ever wandered into a pharmacy and thought, "Wow, this place is like a real-life game of 'Guess the Medicine'!"? Well, meet Herbert & Herbert Pharmacy & Travel Clinic, where quirkiness meets healthcare, and you'll never look at pharmacies the same way again.

Meet the Herberts

Picture this: two brothers, both named Herbert, running a pharmacy together. No, this isn't a sketch from Monty Python. It's the true story of Herbert & Herbert, who took over their dad's pharmacy in the 1950s and turned it into a local institution. Talk about a family affair!

Now, you might be thinking, "Two Herberts? That's confusing!" But don't worry, they had a solution for that. Herbert Senior was always 'Senior Herbert', and Herbert Junior was, well, 'Junior Herbert'. Problem solved!

Quirky since 1927

This pharmacy has been around since 1927, and let me tell you, it's seen some things. From the days of horse-drawn carriages to the rise of the internet, Herbert & Herbert has been dishing out medicine and good old-fashioned advice.

But it's not just the history that makes this place special. It's the quirks. Like the fact that they still use an old-fashioned cash register, complete with a bell that rings when you pay. Or the fact that the shelves are filled with an eclectic mix of modern medicine and old-fashioned remedies. It's like stepping into a time machine!

Travel Clinic: Adventure Awaits!

But wait, there's more! Tucked away in the back of the pharmacy is the Travel Clinic. Yes, you read that right. This isn't your average pharmacy. It's a one-stop shop for all your travel needs.

Need vaccinations for your trip to the Amazon rainforest? They've got you covered. Want to know how to treat a snake bite (just in case)? They can tell you that too. And if you're feeling really adventurous, they can even give you a travel health consultation. Who knows, you might come out of there ready to join the next expedition to the North Pole!

More than Just Medicine

Herbert & Herbert isn't just a place to pick up your prescriptions. It's a community hub. A place where you can chat to the pharmacists about everything from the best way to soothe a sore throat to the latest football results.

And if you're lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of the Herberts' pet tortoise, Shelly. Yes, you read that right. A tortoise. Because why have a boring old pharmacy when you can have a pharmacy with a pet tortoise?

So, what are you waiting for?

Next time you need to pick up some medicine, why not make a detour to Herbert & Herbert? Who knows, you might just leave with more than you bargained for. And if nothing else, you'll have a great story to tell. After all, not many people can say they've been to a pharmacy with a pet tortoise!
