Ah you poor Engerlanders.
Since my vague “possibly asthma” diagnosis last November I’ve had 2 salbutamol inhalers, 1 clenil inhaler, 2 different spacer devices and a peak flow meter and not paid a penny for any of it.

That's the trouble with socialised services - if you don't have to get your wallet out, you imagine it's kostenlos

What's your peak flow bro? I got 540 which puts me in the 70-year-old range 🤣
I think technique plays a part though. Also didn't pay for my inhaler.

Not very good value, I think I'll give it a miss. £25 gets you a full course of doping with salbutamol from an online pharmacy, or £8.80 gets you two full inhalers via NHS prescription if you just want to use it for the proper purpose.
