I know they're not the cheapest but I love the good service I get and have been a customer over 20 years. Sadly they are moving to Lewisham now they have been bought by Boots Opticians. But Stephen Butler, the Franchise Holder of D&A, is a lovely character and I shall miss him. But the property is in an appalling state. My Nationwide moved out to Lewisham years ago, now my Opticians has! Oh well, don't mind going to Lewisham, I love the street markets.


But it is a shame for Rye Lane.

I accompanied my daughter to her appointment at Specsavers, Rye Lane about 8 years ago & never been back since. We had to wait around 30 mins for her eye health check, were then sent upstairs where we had to wait another 20 mins for her sight test.

Back downstairs to a queue to be shown/order glasses. We were in there 2 hours!


Even when we returned to collect the glasses a week later, we had to queue ages at reception.


I said never again, so when I needed an eye test myself, decided to look elsewhere & found D & A.


That was 7 years ago, & I've been going there ever since.


I've always been really happy with the service, all the tests were done in one room & there were never any queues. I could be in & out within half an hour.


Maybe that was their problem, they were just not busy enough to keep the business going, which is such a shame.


Really not looking forward to going to Lewisham. Being Boots, will probably be mega busy & a similar experience to Specsavers, not to mention the inconvenience of getting there.


Not sure I can go anywhere else though, as all my records are being transferred over to them.

    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
    • I guess its the thing these days to demonstrate an attitude, in this instance seemingly of the negative kind, instead of taking pride in your work and have standards then 🤷‍♀️
