That's just not fair Graham :lol:

Wonder if that's the same chart they'll have up at the opticians when I go this week :think:

Girls all seem to remove a 'top', ie sweater or pullover, by crossing their arms at the front and pulling upwards towards the shoulders, so that the collar is the last part of the garment to be pulled over their head,see illustration above. Do most females remove these items using that method?

When I take a sweater or pullover off I just reach both hands to the collar at the back of my neck (without crossing my arms) and then pull the garment off forwards over my head. My wife always grumbles at me for doing it my way! Something about maltreatment of clothes. For male forum members: How do you remove a pullover, sweater, T shirt or vest?

If I zoom to 400% ...................I still can't see the last couple of lines! :$

Oh on the sweater thing - I do mine the same way, grab the top in back and pull. Must be a male thing and somewhat similar to the toilet seat dilemma.

Yup.. me too. Grab the top and off it comes in one go (while not ruining my hairdo on the way) :lol: Of course, the only thing to see this happen at the time of night my jumper comes off (when I wear one) is the Labrador and she doesn't nag :lol:

That is an interesting observation ,-- I guess I also use the "male" method -- as to the eye chart -- :doho:

I definitely use the male method...sometimes accompanied by a few choice words if I forget to unbutton the shirt. :$

When I last went to the opticians Dave...they asked me to read the chart and a Polish chap sitting next to me said 'Read it....I know him'! :lol: :lol: :lol:
