    European Readers

    Does anyone know what constitutes a European reader? How it is different from regular reading glasses?

    Funny hats and the propensity to use hand gestures while conversing. :D




    Seriously, never heard of the term. Sorry.

    Hi,

    I don´t know exactly what you mean, but here in Europe we measure by quarter dpt. steps (0,25)
    What I understand that in the U.S you guys measure in steps of 0,12 dpt.
    Don't know if this is the answer to your question, but if not can you be more specific with your question?
    My English is oke but not that good. ("constitutes" like in the word constitution e.g. ??)

    I'm happy to inform you about the european market and workstyle

    Kind regards

    I, too remember it. I also remember my Mother putting a clear plastic cover over her turquoise naugahyde couch. Along with the clear covers over the lampshades. To this day it still makes me go hmmmmmmmmmm!!
    Days where my gratitude exceed my expectations are very good days!

    European readers are hairier and smell bad. Also, they tend to wear speedos.
    I'm Andrew Hamm and I approve this message.
