Neither had appointments.
Just wanted to say a big thank you for this. I (29) went down this evening to Brentford Leisure Centre and there was quite big queue, but I stuck it out for about 3 hours and managed to get a spare dose of Pfizer! They do a lot of scare-mongering in the queue saying you definitely won't get it from a certain point on, I was about 10 or so people behind this 'cut off'. I guess the scare-mongering worked in my favour as it encouraged a few people to leave and give up. Anyone thinking of doing it, I would suggest going early around 4pm to be more certain, I arrived at 5pm and didn't get in until 8pm. Thank you also to C-W-S for all the information you've been providing on the vaccine rollout and how it works, without your shared knowledge I likely would have given up on the queue!
