Yes - mine do that too. It's really bloody annoying, particularly as I can't do any of the 'get repeats delivered to a given pharmacy' tricks because I don't always use the same pharmacy.
I live in a village. I like living in a village; it's quiet and peaceful.
However, it has bugger all infrastructure.
One of the very few infrastructural perks is that, because there's no pharmacist in a five mile radius my GP has its own dispensary tacked on the side. The computer systems are linked so prescriptions get transmitted digitally. When I drop off a repeat prescription request, I go back a day or two later and the drugs are waiting.
Even then, having to get stuff a month at a time is pointless and infuriating; I can well imagine it's much worse if you have to visit GP twice then visit pharmacy twice. (Some of the stuff I need tends not to be routinely stocked.)
