    Yeah I've had that problem for about 15 years now. They should fit that thing they have like on key rings where you whistle and they beep back at you.

    Can you still get those beeping keyrings?

    I could have done with one last week, then I may not have sat on my bins last week and broke them in two. Anyway, I've mended them with superglue, but they'll just break again next time I fall asleep in them. Anything to get out of buying a new pair - it's not that I'm tight, it's just that the pound shop is miles from where you can park And the car park is pay & display
    I just dropped in, to see what condition my condition was in

    T/T: Inspire Monarch, X200 tonearm, Ortofon Quintet Blue. Phono: Project Tube Box CD: Marantz CD6006 (UK Edition); Amp: Musical Fidelity A5 Integrated.
    Speakers: KEF Reference 3, REL T9i subwoofer. Cables: Atlas Equator interconnects, Atlas Hyper 3.0 speaker cables

    T'other system:
    Echo Dot, Arcam A75 integrated, Monitor Audio R852 MD speakers
    A/V:
    LG OLED65 G56LS, Panasonic Blu Ray, Sony a/v amp, MA Radius speakers, REL T9i sub.

    You can https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/27241290336...fe20c2813e95bc

    But no beeping spectacles. Gap in the market there I reckon.

    No too late. https://www.fastcompany.com/3035272/...-glasses-again

    Every good idea has always been thought of by someone else already.

    Can't find them actually for sale though.
