If you're not brand-conscious I hear Tesco opticians do prescription ski goggles for about 50 quid. I enquired last year. Not every store has an opticians but their HQ branch in Cheshunt definitely does.

Actually it's very handy when you fall over 'cos you just bounce right up again :lol:

:oops: mfc you've been spying on me!!!

I have noticed when reading through these boards that quite a lot of people have expressed irritation at the lack of manners exhibited by others when waiting in line for ski lifts - pushing in front, not queueing properly etc. I would just like to say that when we were in Austria this year, our instructor told us to 'bunch up' with others and not join the end of the line, otherwise the queue would have stretched out a loooong way. He called it 'active queueing'. This we did, though with as much charm and goodwill as we could muster. I don't think anyone minded. People seemed pretty cool. And if I made it clear that I wanted my daughter to stay directly in front of me, no one pushed between us. Though I wouldn't fancy being elbowed or pushed. :lol:

Thanks Bandit. Bicester's not too far away for a motivated shopper like myself!

Where is this wonderful place to be found, please? If it's anywhere near London, I want to go too!
