  • As someone who wears glasses with one very strong and one normal lens I know what looks weird.

    If you go out to look for something that causes you offence you will find it, it is purely a matter of how illing you are to make mountains out of molehills as you take offence on behalf of nobody.

    Thanks for the replies, that one of our largest retailers is selling products that can send out a mixed message is disappointing. That they have been selling these for a year or more doesn't make it less of an issue.

    There are many things wrong in the world. This isn't one of them

    I cannot believe you complained to Tesco about this!!!.
    What is the "mixed message" they are giving?, I wear specs and don't take offence at this.

    There are some people who have to wear these type of lens and it is a cheap joke by tesco.
    There isn't a lens. The frames hold pictures with holes to look through. I don't think anyone has to wear these.

    I'm going to be completely honest. The problem here is your over reaction. Most people including myself can't make any sense of it at all. There is no problem with the product or Tesco which is why you got the response you got when you sent your complaint.

  • To be this worried about Tesco Funny Spectacles (and they ARE funny) and nothing else, in view of the state of the world today...
    I am a cow so cannot speak Bullshine but I do recognise its smell when I come upon it.

    Oh good grief, these JOKE glasses make you uncomfortable, fake blood at Halloween upsets people who have been injured, popping candy concerns people who jump at the slightest noise, kids funny masks gives you nightmares, shiny wigs wind up bald people - I should claim compensation for hurt feelings if I were you.

    Really, I wish I had so little in my life to worry about!

    Unless of course this is the weekly wind-up thread?
