....But an excellent service!

I got my pins today

I'm in England, and our National Health Service has set up a scheme where you can get free needles

I went to the "Drug Exchange Office" and told them what pins i needed, and they gave them to me there and then

I was asked my age, and what i was after, and that was it!
!!SIMPLE!!

The lady gave me 100 needles, 100 syringes, 4 "sharps boxes" to put my used needles in, and 2 boxes of alcohol swabs

Now that's a service!

The only down side was, when i got home i found that i had been given 21 gauge 1.5 inch pins instead of the 23 gauge i had asked for

Who's used 21 gauge before?

Can you tell the difference when you inject?
Are they uncomfortable or not?

Am i ok to use these pins or should i go back and exchange them?
