Greedy and stupid is Adam Simmonds. He sells swanky glasses and expensive contact lenses to yummie mummies and their city hubbies in Primrose Hill. I use to get my eyes tested by him yearly and bought my lenses from him (dispite not being a yummie mummy nor a city hubby). It was that time of the year again and so I needed to get my eyes tested and buy some new contacts. So I phoned him up.
The conversation went some thing like;
Me: Can I book an appointment to get my eyes tested?So I went off to SpecSavers instead, who were smashing. Not like Adam Simmonds who PISSED ME OFF, YOU BASTARD
Adam S: Is it for contacts or glasses?
Me: Does it matter?
Adam S: To me
Me: Contact lenses
Adam S: Will you be buying them from us
Me: Not when they're a third cheaper on the net, no.
Adam S: Then no, you can't
Me: But I'm entitled to a free eye test, because of family history
Line goes dead.

I was once bollocked at school for 'having a cruel joke at someone else's expense'.
Well, I'm ashamed to admit I found your tale of optometrist-based woe highly amusing.
And so did Dave when I read it to him.
Love the bit about his wife.
It'd be hilarious if his wife let him after reading your blog.
I had the same a while ago with some pretentious optometrist, I wanted to see if I needed glasses so I told them "well I don't know, I might not need any" and they said I couldn't book an appointment. It was just that I thought I did since I spend most of my day in front of a screen but no...
Yeah. Those guys are F@@@@ing dumb in there. I went in to try on some specific sunglasses - 'Oliver Goldsmith Carl £179!!' by the way. A young bird says they no longer have them in stock but she could order them for me, if I want to buy them. I say I'm not going to buy them without trying them on first! She says, when they next get them in, she'll call me. So, I give her my name and number. I'll let you guess as to whether I've heard anything back from them?
