Geoff:
First, may I apologise if I am repeating anything said by other 
posters. My wife and I have been away on holiday in Northumberland 
near the Scottish border for the last week and have been deprived of 
my computer - the withdrawal symptoms are severe........

Today I returned to a friend's house in Cardiff and am catching up on 
the backlog....

A child of school age in the UK receives free eye tests and lenses. If 
they select their own choice of frames, these are paid for but some 
children will have "NHS" frames which are simple unadorned items. If 
the elves will forgive me giving a nod in the direction of "the medium 
which dare not speak its name", Daniel Radcliffe wears this type of 
spectacle frame and so Vernon would have to meet a minimum outlay for 
Harry's glasses.
