Saga of the mislaid sun glassies
To all those who wondered what became of my $700 sunglasses temporarily mislaid and speedily sold for $2 by the Hospice Shop in Claudelands, the story unfolded like this. I never heard from the Hospice Shop or sighted my sun glasses again. But I did hear from my opticians, Paterson Burn. Imagine my delight when I got a call offering to replace my sunglasses - lens, frames, the lot - at no cost to me. They had read the sorry saga on Stuff even before I had read it myself. I was gobsmacked. It is not as though I am a big time customer. I have only been there a few times. My experience taught me two things:
a) You never know your luck in a big city
b) I'm glad I went to Paterson Burn
