James Broonbreed Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 I did it at Vision Express. They put prescription lenses into my Ray Bans for me. Hope this helps. X. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 (edited) Thanks. That didn't help at all. Also, if anyone is dying to know the answer: Edited July 25, 2017 by Lemonade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have Ray Bans too but I decided against letting them put prescription lenses in them because you lose the little logo in the corner of the lens and I want people to fucking know I'm wearing Ray Bans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a good pair but I lost them so now I'm either driving with standard sunglasses and blurry vision or in normal glasses and being dazzled. It's pretty great.

Jaaakkkeee Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 Just save yourself the hassle and don't go outside when it's sunny. If you've got a holiday booked, cancel it. Not worth it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabbage Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 6 hours ago, Lemonade said: Anyone know it an opticians such as Specsavers, Vision Express etc would put prescription lenses in my own sunglasses? Like... If I bought a pair of sunglasses for 30 quid somewhere rather than paying 130 in there and just brought them in. I know Vision Express do it with Ray Bans but that's because they sell Ray Bans. Vision Express will put prescription lenses in other optician's frames, I got a set of crap lenses from local optician swapped out some decent ones at vision express without a problem.

Adam Easy Wishes Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 @Lemonade - I recently used ReglazeMyGlasses.com to do just that and they've been great. Had prescription sunglasses, my prescription changed so just got them to replace the lenses. They have a terrible Comic Sans based logo but they're a GBOL so I let them off. Also reasonably cheap and there are often voucher codes at MoneySavingExpert.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaaakkkeee Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 Who caused the raise in business rates for small businesses in Aberdeen, the council or Scottish government? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda both - the overall rates increase was brought in by the Scottish Government, but the local councils do have the ability to change those rates by way of tax relief schemes - all revenue from rates goes back tot he local councils so it's theirs to do with as they want (sort of). As always in Aberdeen, the local council have decided to do less helping local businesses and more making a lot of noise about the bad government raising taxes, while also voting against tax relief schemes and chasing the Scottish government for their share of the money. Short version - the Scottish Government raised the rates, Aberdeen Council kinda made it worse. Everyone's a bastard.

James Broonbreed Posted August 8, 2017 Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 Any Berlin recommendations? Not too interested in mega touristy things like the Reichstag & Checkpoint Charlie. Also not interested in nightclubs really so not aiming to queue outside Berghain for 3 hours to be told to fuck off by that mental bouncer chap.

James Broonbreed Posted August 8, 2017 Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 Already on the shortlist, my friend. Cheers though. Is there any sort of defector simulator, where you can get liberated to the West in a skip hoisted over the wall by a crane? That'd be cool.

Das Gift is a nice boozer owned by one of Mogwai. Holocaust memorial is worth seeing (apart from all the cunts taking selfies on it). Radisson Blu has a seventy foot tall aquarium in the middle of it, its a decent place to have a drink and watch fish if you need a relax. This is touristy but also pretty cool - underground tour of bomb shelters and secret tunnels - http://berliner-unterwelten.de/# Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're there on a Sunday, you can go to this - http://coldwarsites.net/country/germany/museum-apartment-berlin - and then sneak into West Berlin, that's reasonably close.

James Broonbreed Posted August 8, 2017 Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 Halfords is top of the list obviously.... Das Gift is also, genuinely, very high up the list - along with the rest of Kreuzberg. That Raddison aquarium looks pretty rad. If it's en route to somewhere else we'll maybe swing in past for a cheeky dook. The secret tunnels also look cool, but I'd need to ensure I'm not hungover otherwise I'll probably freak out and piss myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirsten Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 If you like want to see some art, the Hamburger Bahnhof is probably the best gallery I've ever been to. It's huge, too, so softens the blow of paying to get in. Ew. Definitely give the jukebox at Das Gift a go, it's great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
