I was aware of the different regional co-op organisations, but hadn't realised some of them had their own pharmacy branches too, so thanks for pointing that out. I wonder if there is some way of distinguishing them in the tagging so that tools can ignore the ones that haven't been sold. Perhaps an operator=* tag would help, if we knew which Co-Op groups still had pharmacies...
