BTW, SelectSpecs' site is one of the most informative that I've seen. It has answered some questions - including some that I didn't know about!

But it doesn't follow that because someone within a company / employed by that company makes a grammatical error that you or I wouldn't, someone else within that company can't do a good job of making a pair of lenses
I have someone who works for me who is almost illiterate
He IS very good at working with his hands though
Put another way, should I turn you down for a software job because you can't play a Chopin polonaise ? - everyone knows that musicians make good s/w engineers
Dunno - I couldn't see !
No comment (uk.d-i-y IIRC)
How often do you come across (budget) materials which you can guarantee not to have defects
What, like the Plusnet advert "We won't be beat on price"?

Yes, but you wouldn't ask him to write the script for your adverts, would you?
It's the fact that no one in the firm apparently knows or cares enough to check the website over for elementary grammar and spelling errors that I can't accept. I would expect them to have a similar attitude to their products.
Nothing wrong with being a Northerner.
Geoff, what was it you said tome when I called into your workplace to see you?

I spent yesterday lunchtime at Specsavers; cost me a £25 fine for overstaying my displayed parking ticket!
Part of the delay was trying to get what I wanted rather than what the pleasant salesman wanted to sell!
Can you re-lens these frames? Yes. However our technician is very unforgiving about hard to spot damage.
OK so can I have my prescription but set to working distance rather than reading? Yes. Why are the only frames available in the £25 range letter box types when I need to focus over a wide arc without having to move my head? Actually we find most customers are happy with the two for one offer in the expensive frames...... etc.

Following someone's earlier post in this thread, I thought I'd see if Fairplay did these "reverse" varifocals, or Warehouse lenses as someone called them. They are actually called "degressive" varifocals. They said they'd do me a pair for £55 lenses and £15 frames =>£70 the lot. So I told them to go for it , I'll pick them up next week and see what they are like

Let us know how you get on. Specsavers gave me my prescription and interpupillary distance.
I still have this pair of usable frames but no lens. Because there is less light these Autumn afternoons, I ended up laying bricks with my best reading glasses!

Pop over and see what they say then
It's only a few miles down the road for you
I'm sure a trowel would have been easier :-)

Yes. I could dump that Benzine on your doorstep as well:-)
Flat out on the building, trying to finish bricking before any serious weather sets in.

Yes.
Actually it isn't any easier wearing glasses, but you can see what you have done wrong.

Are these the same things?
degressives work back to front
i.e. The nearest focus is at the top, not at the bottom
