Sitting on the fence........ and taking the plunge

I enjoy a good vox pop.

People never fail to surprise and, let's face it, real life views are much better than dry, sanitised comments and quotes which have been PR-ed into the middle of next week. Catch people at the right time and they proffer a pithy comment encapsulating exactly what they mean. If you think about it for too long nothing happens -- just take the plunge. Journalists would be lost otherwise and we salute your bravery.

When it comes to eyewear or optics in general you can't stop people but a recent exercise (Optician March 11) on the EU referendum was a little trickier.
