Waze have updated their voice directions. She used to say "Go straight on", now she says "Go straigh' on". It's bloody grating after a while.

It's food poverty innit. Can't afford food so swallow that last T. No nutritional value but it makes you feel full.

I went into the settings. Kate has been given the elbow, let's see if Natalie can talk proper.

Use Google Maps instead then. Not only do Google own Waze the developers share the same office space. It's only a matter of time before Waze disappears.

Alternatively, add a custom voice or add your own voice to Waze.

See above. I've (possibly) solved the immediate problem. I suppose I could go back to using the car's satnav. It mostly works fine but it's about 5 years out of date so it sometimes thinks I'm driving across fields.

Specsavers. Went 7 years ago and got glasses for the first time. Got home and they were shit. Fine reading the card they give you to read but two foot or more (Laptop distance) was a blurry mess. Had to take them back and get tested again and another set of glasses. 2.5 years later, no change in the prescription. 2.5 years later (Last week) apparently my prescription has now changed after being tested. Today got my glasses and read a few things and they seem fine. Got home and cat see my laptop. I have better over the counter glasses.

[Mr. Dazzle]

Or you have a problem simple glasses can't fix.

It's how I discovered I have keratoconus for example.

Did you specifically tell them you didn't want reading glasses, but for computer use?

I told my optician I wanted specs for screen work (you can ask for craft glasses too). They asked what distance I worked from the screen and worked on that basis. (Reading is usually closer than screen work and easier to move into focus).

Specsavers are a bit variable though.

Now i think about it she did measure the distance from eye to where i would be reading a book/paper then again from eye to laptop distance.
Anyway they are going back tomorrow and probably another eye test.

If you said 'computer' specifically, they didn't didn't get what you'd asked for.

But ...

Did you query it when they gave you the reading test card? You already knew that reading and computer need different prescriptions.

Put too much pearl barley in my stew. Proper gloopy! Still lovely though!

They gave me a card today to read and it was fine. They never gave me a loptop to try though. They are going back.

I have bi focals for distance and reading and a seperate pair for computer use. Specsavers told me computer use was different to readers, as the screren is generally that bit further away. I thought readers woud do it but the dont, unless i get closer obvs...

At a guess, they won't have one as a standard check. I've never been shown one. It's up to you to tell them what you need.

Go into Wilco or another cheapo shop. Try some on, stand at screen distance from the test card.

You do need to be really specific with Specsavers. Mind you, when they were doing the test to work out my reading distance I was told I wasn’t reading at the ‘correct’ distance - my arms aren’t long enough to hold a book up for any length of time at the ‘correct’ distance . When I pointed that out, she still told me I wasn’t reading at wrong FFS!!!
