Any London opticians out there in cyberspace? Was in London last weekend, en route back home, my daughter is there for a few weeks studying art history, had a great visit. But everything there was outrageously expensive! Do people make a lot more money there to offset the high prices? Gasoline is five times as expensive and we're complaining. A glass of iced tea was $6.00. WOW! Thanks be for how reasonable things are here! Al.

1 Do we make more money er NO (i'm going to get it in the neck for this but!) unless you are an optician. http://optiboard.com/ubb/eek.gif
2 petrol price its the goverment who tax it by so much (think its 85% of price is tax) this is to try to stop us using our cars, but when the guy (john prescot) in charge wife wont walk 100 yards coz the wind will ruin her hair do and has to use a gas gulzing jag, will it stop us NO. http://optiboard.com/ubb/mad.gif
