Marge's mother has had quite a few problems with Specsavers. They've prescribed her some glasses which do nothing to help her failing eyesight, so Marge went with her the other day to put them right. She had to explain to them what the real problem was and suggested how they could correct it - and she isn't an ophthalmologist.

They accepted her advice and the replacement glasses for her mother are much better.

Nowt to do with GB News, of course, but it says a lot about Specsavers!

I remember Sky (including the News) being thought bad to start with back in 1989.
Absolutely.

Apart from the fact that I welcome a new news channel which isn't left-wing biased like the rest of them, I'd support them even more simply because the woke warriors (including some advertisers) are doing all they can to put them down.

It's high time that someone stood up to the overwhelming influence that the left-wing news channels are trying to impose on us all.

Apart from censoring women from their Saudi Arabia catalogues, do you mean?

Mediocre channel? Have you actually watched it or are you just following what the Woke army are telling you? You know, those that condemned the channel a full three months before it was launched.



This just in.

IKEA reverses boycott of GBNews after massive backlash.

In this case, maybe the black presenter got the job on merit and not because of the colour of her skin?

Yes. That's perfectly possible, of course.

The trouble is now, after all the PC moves toward 'inclusivity' people can never be sure!

I had to take a pair of distance glasses back after 3 months because one of the lenses wasn't quite right. They changed both lenses FOC - they said although the faulty lens was <0.1mm out of tolerance, it didn't meet their normal standards and they were more than happy to replace both.

Specsavers are getting a shedload of cancelled appointments and no-shows.

I've found the article in today's DE that refers to Specsavers:

I suspect that Specsavers (and others) are now beginning to experience an attack of common sense!
