3 PRS Southern Seas Folding Reading & Travel Glasses with Case

Very pleased with the glasses.

Glasses are pretty good quality. They seem sturdy enough but only time will tell. The cases provide good protection and also have a lens cloth included. My head size is average and the glasses are quite tight at the sides. It's not too annoying and at least they won't fall off every time I lean forward but may be a problem for some people. Overall handy to have spare readers to stash about so you're always covered.

I am well chuffed with these items and they are excellent value for money and there is no arguing with that.In fact I won't hear a word said against them - a bit like Hannah Spearritt and Jaffa Cakes.I am also a big fan of crossword books.Not the kind of simpleton ones that you would find in a filthy tabloid or The Daily Mail, but proper crosswords like what you get in The Daily Telegraph.I know some people prefer that Soduku thing, and some prefer word searches and other doltish diversions, but I like to keep the grey matter ticking over. After all I still cannot take part in a discussion with people about football for instance, as I just can't regress to their level.I wasn't raised in a council house, and it's not like I watch people like Ben Shephard on the telly for goodness sake.Having always enjoyed untrammelled vision I suddenly started to notice that I was having difficulty tackling my morning crossword which I, like most civilised people, prefer to do sitting on the lavatory.As I also cannot resist the prospect of 'doing a crossword' when I'm out and about I always like to keep a crossword book on the go, so I decided to invest in a set of travel spectacles for those occasions when I am a bit 'blurry'.To be fair I am convinced that the blurriness and frequent bowel movements are both connected, and every time I spend a night in The Staunton with Matt and Alison it seems to yield the same results the next morning, so I am getting through crosswords at a fair rate of knots I can tell you.For my purposes these fit the bill perfectly. They are compact and, as they come in threes, it's also highly convenient.That's not to say that I have three sets of eyes like some character from Greek mythology, but it means I can keep a pair in the upstairs toilet, a further pair in the downstairs toilet, which leaves a pair which I can keep in my trousers for travel purposes.It's odd that I only ever have one crossword book at a time, a bit like trousers, so I guess I could just carry the same pair around with me everywhere I go but that does seem like an awful lot of hassle, and is certainly a waste of effort. A bit like watching Ben Shephard I suppose.It's odd that he has never cropped up as either the clue to, or answer of, a crossword question, so I can only put two and two together and conclude that he does not subscribe to The Telegraph, or that they have blacklisted him for some reason.Anyway these do permit me to now enjoy my hourly crosswords wherever I may find myself, from the household toilets to the train station, the train itself, the workplace and the pub.Oh I forgot there's also Matt's house.In fact it has just occurred to me that I could really use six pairs instead of three but I don't know if you are allowed to keep your own glasses in the loo at the train station, and I bet they'd get robbed if you left them in the bog on the train.That or they'd get stolen by one of those 'cleaner' type employees they have on public transport.I know Matt wouldn't have an issue with me keeping a pair round his, and people have their own tankards in The Staunton so why not your own specs in the bogs as well?I'd happily have sets of these scattered all over the place as they are a bargain, which means you can afford to lose the odd pair without really denting your bank balance.I haven't taken them to our testing facility in Matt's back garden as he hates glasses so I reckon he'd want to smash them with a toffee hammer, but I bet any pair of glasses would break under that type of treatment.I'll probably buy more as they are pretty good, and I'm bound to lose a set at some stage coming back from the pub.They got delivered quick, but I was out so they got left with Mrs. Edwards at number 26, and she said that the driver looked like Jason Statham.

They are probably the best thing that I’ve seen

Top quality

Worth of money

Useful compact glasses with case sit well on ears and better then some other makes

Second time purchased and found very handy for reading restaurant menus in poor light and general usage while out travelling. Recommend
