Scrappage scheme for specs

Chris Bennett

The government's scrappage scheme for cars has been so successful it got me thinking, wouldn't the same thing work for optics.

I see so many people walking around in old banger specs it makes perfects sense.

It also has the advantage of not working against the environment ( I thought Labour were the new Green Party) or encouraging people to drive faster .

It didn't take the motoring lobby long to get the governement to divvy up a subsidy so why can't optics do it?

The optical bodies are so good at lobbying it shouldn't be  a problem to convince those in the corridors of power that it would be a good thing. people would be more productive, they would have less accidents and it would privide a filip to the economy. It would also make Britain a more attaractive place to live.
