At times and many times I've noted that wneh people email/text they often come across not as intended and ruder/aggressive than they otherwise mean. Again, OP please just find another branch/etc.

I think:

"You`re not welcome in the store. I`ve asked that you been turned away and cwmbran security have been informed. If you have a problem with your eyes, please go to a different opticians."

says exactly what the text sender meant.

Never visited Cwmbran - do all the opticians have bouncers?

Armed guards from what I heard.... Dogs the lot. I remember going there when I was very young - it used to be a 'day out'... 

There are plenty of opticians in the area though, and there's a Specsavers in both Pontypool and Newport which are just a stones throw away.

Not sure if you are being serious?

In London there are place I would not visit during the day time, but what you have posted, I've never encountered anything like that.. 

Tongue in cheek based on the OP's comments around security being informed Us Welsh are renowned for exaggerating a little

Many thanks. I asked because at times the media/press do report some not-so-nice events from Wales and thought I may have missed out how bad it really was.

Thanks again.

They're a rough lot down in South Wales.  Have you seen the bouncers?

I still can't get my head round 'his mother in law has started divorce proceedings against me'. Surely he's the one to do so not her.

Women are allowed to initiate divorce proceedings these days you know   

As I understand it OP is being divorced by Mrs OP (the MIL).  Mrs OP has an adult child (son or daughter) who is married to a man (SIL) who works at the opticians.  

Now you're being silly. Of course women can but I thought only the husband or wife could be involved in divorce proceedings.

In this case, they are.
The OP is married to the optician's Mother-in-law.
The optician's mother-in-law has initiated divorce proceedings against the OP i.e. her husband.

Who's being silly?

Gosh, this got to be some Holmes work. Do you work for Scotland Yard?

No Sherlock Holmes work required.  The OP explained the relationship involved in their first post.  "My crime to warrant this expulsion. His mother in law has started divorce proceedings against me."

Not clear if this was an NHS test or not. or how many optometrists work at the practice.

On the face of it I would have offered an appointment with a colleague rather than ban from the practice if no other issues.

If it was under the NHS then it is more of a pain because you have to formally record all patients you have refused care and the reasons.

I don't think its a GOC matter as it would seem reasonable for both parties in this case for them not to underake the examination.

I think they were being ironic.
