Das Boot redeux (?)

Also: I was so relieved this turned out to NOT be a newsblurb saying that someone is remaking "Das Boot," because NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!11!

Thank you.

Had no idé what Specsavers was.

A bit of a rip off merchant, they advertise low prices but the hidden add-ons for lens protection etc. soon hike the price up.

My wife fell for it twice and now goes to an independant optician and gets an almost identical product for a little over half the price.
