Spectacle woes
« on: December 03, 2011, 06:12:54 PM »
A lens popped out of my specs today  evil: A teeny weeny screw had worked loose evil: I went to the opticians to have it fixed, but they couldn't fix it  cussing: They then figured out the specs are only 9 months old and are therefore under guarantee. They offer to fix them, but only if they can have them and send them away for 10 days cussing:

I explain I can't drive without them and suggest they order a replacement pair under the guarantee. "Oh noes, sir, the guarantee does not cover that."  Banghead Banghead Banghead

I have now fixed them with sellotape*  evil:

I am buggered if I am going to pay for another pair. Any idea on where I stand on this?

*I look like a geriatric Milky Bar kid  evil:

Never throw away your last pair when you buy new ones.

Also get two for the price of one at Spec Savers.

Seeemples really.
