Bench is the ultimate chav brand followed Tommy Hilfiger. YSL is high fashion don't you know.

We've been through this before, as an IT professional you're expected to wear glasses so the end client feels confident they've hired a proper geek.

HTH.

Darn! Failed the geek test.

You guys are being ripped off.

Q: How can you charge such low prices?

Because we cut out the middlemen, and don’t need to pay for expensive high street stores and eye testing equipment, we don’t need to pass on the cost to you.

Well someone has to! If everyone did this your local high street optician will fold. Unless of course the opticians start to charge £100 per eye test so that only the affluent could afford eye tests, similar to the situation we have now for dentistry.

What about a monocle - surely they are cheaper?

Get 'em lasered. It's the future.

That doesn't preclude you needing reading glasses when you get older. But at least with reading glasses you don't need to pay inflated opticians prices for lenses - £1 from the pound shop or a few quid from Sainsburys.

Your are clearly a chav. I suggest you get a tattoo.

I found some nice Italian ZeroRH+ on there but by the time I've added the lenses I'd want they were £350! I'll stick with the personal touch I get from my specialist privately owned opticians thank you very much.

Has anyone ever tried making lenses out of water (i.e. ice)?

wear green Barbour jackets and drive battered Subaru Foresters.

I think those are freebies upon joining the PCG.

Are an apparent lack of education and poor communication skills symptoms of one being a chav?

No. Chavviness is quite subtle. Many aristos have a poor education and poor comms skills, but you know they're not chavs. Mainly because they bray like donkeys, wear green Barbour jackets and drive battered Subaru Foresters.

Worked for me earlier.
I've had several pairs from here at a fraction of the price of the high street stores.

Interesting:

No Police or YSL?

I am in no way a brand junkie but when it comes to something that's stuck to my face for 16 hours a day I insist on style.
