Any recommendations for firms since Richard's passing.

Also wondering what's happened to our prurient electrician

Hmm. I suspect the opticians profit is in the frames. The Specsavers business model seems to involve changing the offered frames every 3 years. Making such economies difficult. I found someone on-line marketing a *reading* glass using the same frame a my discontinued broken pair. Not quite what I hoped as the securing screws had the ends peened with a punch! Luckily resourceful farmers have access to suitable twist drills and pin holders from previous employment:-)

Me too. Perhaps we need a Wiki file for grieving relatives to report.

He's fine, just bored of usenet I think ...

Thanks, no need to worry then.

[ajh]

Thanks I'll give them a try

Indubitably but I have amassed many frames plus I only ned the prescription changed for one eye and have been advised to wear prescription sunglasses, so a total of three lenses needed.

Reduce, reuse, recycle...

I consider myself very fortunate (good choice of parents) to only need glasses for reading and TV. Slight astigmatism is an issue but only in low light conditions (yes officer, I do wear driving glasses). Most of my life is spent with a pair hanging round my neck.

Indeed, although I think Specsavers believe I am a waste of their time:-)

I have a long dead Oak needs taking down if you are ever up this way.

Just noticed you said you will be looking for prescription sunglasses too. In the past I've used neutral grey lenses in sunglasses so opted for that tint when looking for prescription ones from them. Sadly They came with a slight blue cast to them which I didn't like so chose the dark green tint on the next pair and I am very happy with them.

My first reply seems to have got lost

Could be able, bearing in mind I have no insurance nowadays. How large is it?

About 1m through the butt. Not near any public r.o.w. Most of the branches are long gone.

That mail address died with Demon! Lose the *farm* and use .uk.com
