About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an elderly gentleman entered Specsavers and asked the clerk, 'Do you sell glasses that can see through walls?' The clerk smiled and replied, 'No sir, but we do have some excellent reading glasses today.' Just then, a delivery driver walked in, holding a box full of new frames. Seeing the old man's interest, he joked, ‘I bet I could deliver those glasses for you!’ Everyone laughed, including the old man who left with a smile, knowing his wish was as good as granted.

2. At dawn, when most people were still dreaming, a delivery driver pulled up outside Specsavers with a crate of new frames. As he unloaded them, he noticed something odd: every pair seemed to be wearing tiny little hats. Curious, he picked one up—sure enough, there was a tiny little hat perched jauntily on each frame. He chuckled and decided it must be some prank from an overactive imagination. But as he placed the first pair on his nose, he felt a strange tickle. Looking in the mirror, he saw that he had joined a parade of miniature spectators marching down the street, all wearing their own stylish headgear. With a laugh, he drove off, leaving behind a bemused receptionist who wondered if she should check the weather forecast for invisible sunshine.

3. At dusk, as neighbors settled in for their evening routine, someone noticed a strange humming coming from inside Specsavers. Curious passersby peered through the window, trying to figure out what could possibly be making such an eerie sound. Suddenly, an old man emerged from behind the counter, rubbing his eyes. 'Oh,' he yawned, ‘just my new hearing aid adjusting itself.' Neighbors laughed and went home, realizing that Specsavers was simply getting used to its latest addition.

4. At sunrise, when birds began their cheerful chorus, a curious whistling sound echoed through the empty streets near Specsavers. Passersby stopped to listen, but no one could identify its source. Curious, an elderly gentleman passing by decided to investigate. He peered inside and saw, amidst the rows of spectacles, a tiny bird perched on a display stand, chirping away contentedly. With a smile, he gently picked up the little fellow and carried him home to his garden, where the bird promptly found new friends among the local sparrows. The next morning, as people resumed their daily routines, they noticed that the whistling had been replaced by the sweet songs of happy birds.
