Wearing NHS specs in the Eighties for me got cat-calls and "speccy-four eyes" jokes, possibly because I was only three in 1982 when I got them. That is the reason, however, that anyone hoping to woo me either has to look like Neil Pearson, Jarvis Cocker and Peter Mandelson rolled into one, or simply has to wear big specs and have (consequently) big eyes. It's this that led me onto fancying... no, that's too painful. That's too, too painful a memory to drag up.
