I recently paid just over £200 in Vision Express for something like a pair of 422CJ in gunmetal grey !Your choice in the 50s - no new design was permitted for well over 30 years in order to control costs apparently.

Why not tell them you are happy for them to put the new lenses in the old frames?
I meant the lenses.Why not tell them you are happy for them to put the new lenses in the old frames?
Read the names of the frame styles. Dizzy, Miles, Mingus etc.Just wondering, where do "jazz fans" come into the picture?
PS I was always quite impressed by Theresa May’s husband. He’s married to the least cool woman on the planet who has just absolutely trashed the country and is hated by millions, but his glasses made him look like Le Corbusier.

Just no. He looks like Arthur Askey.
On another tack, does anyone else feel slightly uncomfortable when faced with someone wearing specs that aim to define a "special" personality? The theatrical kind that immediately spring to one's attention before even seeing the face behind, very big or very odd colours, odd shape and so on. There is a lady in my local post office who has a frame that is square on one eye and round on the other. I can't make myself look her in the eye. I know we all buy frames that we think look good (or cool or serious or sexy. etc.) What I mean are the one's for dramatic effect, that say "Hey, I'm creative!" (or "imaginative" or "different" or "something.")
Yes! They went with jackets with shoulders that stuck out 4 inches for men and 12 inches for womenThe 80s big red frames might be up your street...

I'm with you on this. And it' not just specs.On another tack, does anyone else feel slightly uncomfortable when faced with someone wearing specs that aim to define a "special" personality?
