I've checked the photo on the laptop rather than the phone and can make out about half my head, behind a guy in white with a black beard and big open mouth! ;D

Quote from: Slim on March 21, 2024, 03:35:16 PMJust had a call from Vision Express. They've broken my Oakley cycling frames.

Cross-posted that from the "grumpy" thread with happier news. They refused to replace them, but offered a new pair of frames up to £80 in value (ie inferior). After an argument in the store - their manager lied to my face, claiming I'd been told they were likely to break and this would be at my own risk - I gave up and accepted, but I put a powerfully negative review on Trust Pilot.

Their complaints department contacted me to apologise, offered to replace the Oakleys with the original Oakley frames and told me I could keep the ones I'd already accepted as replacements - which actually I quite like. So I've ended up with a free pair of specs.


Just picked up my free Oakleys from Vision Express - very nice! Same as the old ones except black instead of blue / grey.

Me neither. They nevr seem to attract bigger crowds, yet every tour I meet people who've never seen them before who then say how good they are and yet crowds don't swell.

I'll have a look for you on their Facebook page.

QuoteThe support act, Klone, were decent too. Singer has a great voice. Will check out some of their stuff.
they're OK, but seeing them three more times might be a bit much for me...

I've scrutinised that photo, can't see me or my son!

Six minutes, but with interruptions to feed the morning visiting vixen and the neighbour dropping off his key, so not bad. Can't figure out why my original line four isn't a word.
