tatsblisters 8,997 Posted July 17 Author Report Share Posted July 17 Update on my glasses and Specsavers. After taking the glasses on a recent holiday with me to try and get used to them that i found impossible though they were better when sitting half way down my nose and the arms above my ears i returned them back to Specsavers were an older assistant told me they had not been lined up properly and apologised and sorted them out and gave me another 30 day trial with them . The 100 notes i got from Westfield i received an email from work with a P11D Tax for 15 pound ffs even getting taxed on expenses for your health when again theirs millions in this country who have not paid a bean into the system. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's what I was on about in an earlier post.My origional pair that my optician made were spot on but the second pair he made for me weren't quite right even though the were the exact same prescription.Where they were a slightly different style/shape frame it altered the height of where the lense change from long distance to reading glass.Second time round he got them bang on too. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Remember a mate having some years ago who did a lot of scuba diving and said they were brilliant. A funny thing happened wile on a day out scuba diving at Flamborough as he had lost his normal glasses and with his eyesight bad he ended up driving back to Rotherham in his diving mask and got some funny looks when stood in traffic 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
