You looked lovely last night at dinner Dahlink. Sorry you dropped a contact lens - I thought you were just winking at Colin !

Yes, I quqlified for the wonderful £15 as well. Isn't it great - do you want the good news or the bad news? The good news is you get £15 off - the bad news is your eyes are so bad we can't do much with them... (and that's a couple of hundred punds please...)

And that's the way the money goes...better to take your glasses off when you read the bill, and pay up blind! LOL

Blimey, that's a bit of a steep price, isn't it? I got my specs from a flea market for 25p and sent them off to an on-line optical company with my prescription to get them reglazed. Total cost: £20.25 xxx

I used to read Viz back in the day, and I'm supposed to be a Geordie, but I've never heard "geps". Hmmm...

I'm with Gigi. I haven't worn my glasses for years, so I'm reluctant to pay a lot for a new pair that I won't wear either.

I sometimes go for the chemist's brand, far less expensive though I know they are not ideal long term.

LOL...great story.

When I had my eyes tested about two months ago, the optican cheerily said, "No changes in your prescription, but you may want some new frames to make a new fashion statement!"

"In your dreams," I thought as I put on my old glasses and drove home.

And THAT is exactly why I haven't changed my g...

And THAT is exactly why I haven't changed my glasses prescription in EONS (since 2005, maybe?). It's just more economical to stick with the contacts and squint through my glasses, when I wear them.
