      @Tripleterror:

      Some links for us guys 'n' girls in the UK !

      http://www.operaopera.net/
      http://www.cutlerandgross.com/
      http://www.roopevintage.com/

      I have some frames from Opera Opera (Harpers), The quality is first class and they're made in the UK.
      Cutler & Gross have 2 shops in London, more or less opposite Harrods, one sells their current range & the other sells older & vintage stock. They're about 5 doors apart.
      Roope Vintage sell a fantastic variety of frames but I don't think the frames are the best quality compared to the others mentioned.

      get some pics up TT - great links . . . never knew Harpers

          guys - you seriously have got to invest in some Ditas!!

          just took mine down to the local opticians to get glazed up . . . I handed over the case and the (exceedingly lovely) optician opened it up and just said 'oh my . . . !'

          she then went through the prescription details, DOB, address etc etc and then took them through to the back office and returned handing me the case saying I should keep hold of it because it might get separated from the glasses.

          anyways - got home and thought I would stick another pair of my glasses in the now empty case . . . only to find her home and mobile numbers written on a note inside

          result!

          • Geo only now realises what the statements such as '46? You're only a couple of years older than me!' and 'that's actually quite close to where I live' actually meant . . . doh!

                    Increased female attention may cause some problems for me though..

                    I can always answer any comments with.. "my beautiful girlfriend bought these for me."

                        Dont get carried away, I think it is the same girl who works in the Gosport branch occasionally.  The same thing happened to me except she popped a photo inside the box too:
