David Ellerby says that he has been asked "why are you a pharmacist if you're such a funny bloke?" (PJ,10 July,p55).Having shared rooms with him in our student days nearly 30 years ago I ought to add that the "funny" here is funny ha-ha rather than funny peculiar.Nonetheless,he makes a good point.I am wheeled out occasionally as an after-dinner speaker and the general response appears to be that I can sometimes be interesting despite being a pharmacist,rather than because I am a pharmacist.
