  8. Swansea audiologists back world champion Wales Deaf Rugby teams as they prepare to defend titles in Tokyo

    The backing from Specsavers Swansea, alongside 10 other locally owned Specsavers audiology businesses across Wales, will fund new kits, training facilities and travel to upcoming fixtures as the teams gear up for international competition.

    The sponsorship comes as Wales Deaf Rugby works towards a £150,000 fundraising target to enable its men’s and women’s squads to travel to Japan and compete at the World Championship in October. The teams were last crowned world champions in Córdoba, Argentina, in 2023.

    Ahead of a recent winning match against Jamaica, several players visited Specsavers’ Port Talbot store, where they met Kyle James, Specsavers audiologist, to discuss how hearing plays a key role in both sport and everyday life.

    Kyle James said:

    “Wales Deaf Rugby shows what’s possible when talent is matched with the right support. We’re proud to be backing both the men’s and women’s teams as they prepare to defend their world titles.

    “As audiologists rooted in the local community, we see first-hand the difference good hearing health can make – not just in sport, but in confidence, communication and everyday life. Supporting these athletes is about inclusion, opportunity and helping them compete on the world stage.”

    Siân-Elin Melbourne, chairman for Wales Deaf Rugby, added:

    “This partnership means a huge amount to us, especially in such a pivotal year for the club. I was proud to be part of the very first Wales Deaf women’s team back in 2019, and to now see both squads preparing to defend world titles on the global stage is incredibly powerful.

    “Support from Specsavers doesn’t just help with travel and kits – it sends a message to our players that they are valued, believed in and backed by their communities. As we build towards Tokyo, that belief makes all the difference.”

    Wales Deaf Rugby is a Welsh sports charity dedicated to creating inclusive opportunities for deaf and hard-of-hearing athletes, promoting access, equality and excellence in sport. It is volunteer-run and receives no funding from the Welsh Rugby Union.

    The club is currently fundraising to reach its £150,000 target to send both squads to Tokyo for the World Championship in October, where they will face international competition as defending champions.

    People wishing to donate to the club’s World Deaf Rugby 7s World Championship fundraiser can do so at donate.giveasyoulive.com/campaign/help-send-wdru-to-the-world-cup-2026.

  9. Went to make an online appointment with #SpecSavers today. They wanted my date of birth. So they could "find my records".

    Why? My name + address is unique. My email address is unique. My DOB isn't. And is very PII! Only the tax office, my actual doctors and employer need to know that!

    1/1/1900 it was, so. #GDPR

  14. And that's another trip to the Specsavers in Andover done, until I go pick up the new glasses in ~2 weeks.

    Once more the staff were lovely, professional and both offered good information and answered any questions I had.

    My bank account is wincing, as I've refreshed all *three* pairs; "intermediate vision" for computer work (most of my day), normal varifocals, and another varifocal pair with a polaroid tint for if it's sunny.

  15. I'm sitting waiting in a car park in Barnard Castle and I chose a spot that was away from everybody else and it's not busy.

    There are 14 empty spaces in front of me and about same to left.

    Can someone please explain the psychology of the driver that just parked next to me and had difficulty opening his door without hitting my door?

  17. I've had my new #glasses for less than three hours, and just noticed that they've got a broken frame 😩 The right lens isn't in the frame properly either, so no wonder they felt "off" for closeup stuff. Back to #specsavers tomorrow morning, I guess 😐

  20. It snowed a bit last night, it's still lying higher up on the fells. I glanced out the window and said to Eve:

    "the peewits are very close to the house this morning."

  22. Just been to #Specsavers (of all places) to have micro-suction on my ears, because I had wax buildup for the last week on one side in particular. Appointment lasted less than 20 minutes and cost £55. Very professional guy who did the cleaning. Feel much better now for sure.

  24. If #anpost could advise their nice postpeople that #specsavers "lenses by mail" boxes are specifically made to go through the letterbox so they don't have to ring the doorbell every time, that would be dead handy, ta.

    A great pity that #Costa is just downstairs…… So I mean one does have to pop in. 😇😂

  27. Shout out to the lovely lady in #Specsavers in #Macclesfield who fixed my glasses for me. 11/10 would recommend
