Thanks for all this info - been looking to do exactly the same thing. If it helps, I've gone online to Selectspecs. Oakley Trajectorys, with basic single vision prescription lens, with green Transitions tint - £200. They seem to have a large range of Oakleys, but as Retro said, don't do Sutros with prescriptions.

Woo hooo!! That's me!! On here and signing up!! By far the best ride full of the best people. Pleasure and privilege to ride with you Skully and the all the rest of LFGSS. Keep on blathering brother......and yes, you owe me a flapjack!

Great, I'll happily take your advice!! I had my suspicions, but there was a tiny voice in my head saying "it's 43 quid!! Are you listening.....43 quid!!". Many thanks.

Been looking for a half decent but not too expensive rain jacket, and stumbled across the Chrome Storm jacket for £43 on a site I've never seen before. The price seems to good to be true, as do the prices for the other Chrome products on there. Just wondered if anybody had used these guys before and whether it's worth a punt: http://www.swonderfulmusic.co.uk/chrome-sc-89_364.html

Hah, must admit, my daughters do stifle a snigger when they tell mum that "dad's out on his banana!".

I don't name my bikes.....but my daughters have taken to calling them non-gender specific names. There's "Bananas" ....cos it's yellow; "Dutchy"......cos it looks like the bikes we used to hire when we would go on holiday to Holland; and most interestingly, "The Boring One"......cos to them that's the one I go out on for hours on my own or spend too much time in the garage tinkering with.

Ha! I think he may have missed that particular memo, cos you know, Judge Dredd never read memos did he, and he's a proper policeman.

Struck dumb by police in an unmarked car this morning. Guildford Road, nr Stockwell - quiet residential road, one-way for cars, two way for cyclists. I'm pootling along, car coming towards me, parked cars on either side (so quite tight), so politely I pull over into a space and wave the car through. He crawls past, winds down the window and says "what's your problem?". (It's now that I see that it's a couple of policemen in the car). I say:
"Nothing, just waving you through".
Plod: "It's a one-way street"
Me: "Two way for cyclists"
Plod: "No, it's a one-way street", and drives off.
I'm a bit miffed as I've been doing this route for ages. So I turn round and cycle after him, get to the road where there is clearly a sign for bikes and a segregated part of the junction. Tap on the window:
Me: "See, it's a two way for bikes"
Plod: "Well, I'm not a cyclist am i" and drives off.
Behind him was another unmarked police car with a police woman laughing her head off!
I spent most of the rest of the commute thinking of all the witty replies I should have used......and promptly failed to unclip!
Pipped at the post!! Thought I had it nailed until the last two days!! Good work Henry!!!
