On the Road Again!

Why do I need a new pair when I have a perfectly serviceable pair of Oakley's?  The reason is that I like to have what I call "car specs" - a pair in the car so that I always have a pair to hand, and also as backup when I go on holiday. I already have a £10 sunglasses pair in the car and decided to match them with a pair of clear ones. Clear are £6.  Cheap.   With holidays coming up they are useful in the luggage "just in case".  A few years ago I did manage to sit on the only pair I had with me! So I went to Selectspecs again.  Now I have to wait for the post.

Following on from the Specsavers posting, today I bought what I call "car specs" (specs = spectacles!) from SelectSpecs online. They do cheap spectacles (aka glasses/specs/spex) and they might not be the most fashionable or even nice looking but they are perfect for the glove box to use when you are daft enough to have left the proper ones at home or have, what has happened to me before, had an arse/butt interface with them. So for £11.95 including, anti-scratch coating (perfect for bike riding), anti-glare and delivery, I have a pretty ugly cheap pair that are my new prescription and will be there if and when I need them. I currently have a pair of them in the car as my car-sunspecs.  They look cheap and they are.  But they do the job.
