The NHS ones are pretty basic and you need to change the

very
often according to friends of mine. If you want proper digitally
tailored
ones than the price is almost anything you can think of. Like
you i
don't
know why, as the tech is not new.

It doesn't have to be new just refined and perfected this takes
time.

and in my view its another thing like
glasses frames disability aids etc,

or phones or laptops they all pretty much do the
same thing.regarding battery usage and quality.

Thats bull**** with time between charging and protection
against malicious apps snooping on your data. And you can't
even have your iphone record all phone calls automatically so
you can check what was said if you need to. Or answer incoming
calls automatically either which is handy when driving.

what's that got to do with hearing aids ?

I commented on your claim about phones and laptops.

Plenty dont realise that they can get glasses MUCH
cheaper from china than from the local optician.

and most of those will damage your eyes

Even sillier than you usually manage
when you use the eye test prescription.

They don't give you the prescription, maybe you have
to insist or ask for it but most don't hand you a prescription
that goes to the assistant in order to make your specs.

I just tell them that I want to keep a record
of how the prescription changes and they
legally can't refuse to give it to me here.

perhaps like some products the expensive ones are
actually better it;s just not everyone appriaciates it ,

Not true with glasses.

So how come the standard reading glasses
you can buy in chain stores aren't used more ?

Because they dont do the job as well as glasses which
are made to the prescription produced in the eye test.

and which do you think is easists to
mass produce and therefor cheaper ?

Its done in a low labor cost country, ****wit.


and where do you get yuor cheap glasses made Harrods ?


China.



I heard that is australia all the glass bottles collected for recycling go to land fill as the Aus Gov have a deal with china where they make glass cheaper than the cost of recycling so glass recycling doesn't really happen in aus.




And its never going to be possible to know where the dealer you
have previously got the heroin from got the latest batch from.


If you do know them you can ask, and that goes for all drugs including alcohol.
If you think rock & pops stars stand at street corners buying drugs from the unkown then you are as stupid as those that do.
Bands like the stones the who and they like that have taken drugs in the past new their suppliers they weren't strangers.
