I haven't been 'home' for some years but I understand that now some UK High Streets have many 'Turkish' Barber Shops, Nail Salons and Vape Shops..and the layman's suspicion is that, although they may actually do a little business, their main role is to launder money for various criminal activities. Secondly, and please put me straight if my thinking is wrong...is it possible that someone with a thriving business can perhaps start a duff business which loses money but can somehow put the losses against the successful business' tax liability?

Yes, Dr Jack54, that's the one! Many thanks.

The post I was searching for was by 'Crossy' in August last year. I found it but have lost it again, and can't remember the title. My memory at fault....he bought the 'kit' from Ali Express not Lazada...that's where he bought the wider frame thingys from. I'll find it again I'm sure, but in the meantime my thanks to those who responded.

Thanks guys. 'One more Farang'...yes, it was partly about the search both on this site and on Lazada, but what I was hoping for was the actual post info, or indeed a link to the actual post regarding the 'equipment' where the poster bought it, and his assessment of it. Further, I have visited a 'real' optician in Vietnam and more recently here in Thailand within the last 12 months and the results, let me be kind here, have failed to meet my needs. In short.......they were, oh, what's a common British adjective for 'not very good?' Begins with the letter C and ends in the letter P. 'Charlie H' so my memory was at fault...'Zenni' it is, thanks for that. But they make the spectacles to an instruction and I want to be able to give them that instruction....hence the search for the post which described buying the self testing/prescribing kit on Lazada. Thanks for your response....I had a feeling that you were the poster I was searching for...obviously I was wrong! 'Scubascuba3', thanks for your input but it was the specific post I was trying to find. rather than a more general search. Is anyone else able to throw light on the post I'm searching for? With hope, thanks in advance.

I've tried several times to locate a post I remember reading several? months ago regarding spectacles and Thai Opticians, Optometrists et al. The specific post gave details of a Lazada purchase of a kit, which I've also been unable to find on Lazada, whereby one could try different 'strength' lenses in the supplied eye piece frame until it was just right. The poster then went on to say he had also bought a different, wider, eyepiece frame as the one supplied was too narrow for his face/ head. He then bought his spectacles from Zizzi? based on his own results with the kit and is very happy with the finished spectacles. If anyone can point me in the right direction I'll be grateful. Thanks.
