Reliable Optician

It is nice to know there are still some things you can rely on. No this isn’t about my socks, or rather my son’s socks. This is about the reliability of Optician.

writer’s blockage

Oh dear, no one likes to see that especially in a sales promotion letter. At least it cheered up a few opticians when it arrived in the post this weekend. Well done to the company for having an offer that compelled customers to read down that far.
