Looks like your glasses got broke again. Do hope you weren't wearing them at the time!

They're to stop his ears from falling off....

I've just ordered a couple of pairs of specs from an online supplier - at a fraction (around a quarter) of the cost from the High Street. I shall report back on quality when they arrive!

Not broke, but have just started wearing glasses & Daughter insisted that they should be rimless.

Hence the rip-off price for 2 bits of bendy wire on top of the lens price!

Specs really are pricey aren't they?  Mine (rimless too) cost nearly £200.. but I did get a free pair, which with sods law are the ones I wear more often ::)
