ANBESOL is INDEED IN THE UK!!!

...to my HUGE relief!  And therefore, thought I'd share in case anyone else out there might ever wonder.

Uh, not that I'm a regular user...  but after a sudden and fairly severe tooth issue at the beginning of the week, I stopped in at a Boots hoping to find something similar.  I walked up to the counter to ask, and mid-sentence, I saw it behind her on the shelf, and nearly shouted "ANBESOL!  YOU HAVE ANBESOL!  PLEASE GIVE ME SOME ANBESOL!"

Fortunately, it was at Euston, so I'm sure she's used to loonies and foreigners doing strange things, so she smiled and said, "yes of course.  And for future, you can always ask for what you want from the U.S., and if we don't carry it, we can look up what we do carry that's an equivalent."

Eh?

I am now happily numb in the back right side. 

It's even available in a very small chemists in a very small village I know of in South Wales.  (Friend works there).

They don't carry the bubble gum flavoured kids one here though.

I picked up some at Sainsburys,
Unfortantly it doesn't work for me,my wizdom tooth is too far damaged , I gotta get it pulled out
