I WAS at the optician last month, choosing a new pair of glasses to replace the current pair, because my lens coating was coming off in a way that made it impossible to see properly.

After paying for the new pair and going home, I checked my spending records to see how much I paid for the old one.

Then it hit me. I've used that old pair of glasses for four whole years.
