Following on from their ridiculous application and even more ridiculous achievement of said application to trademark the words "should've" and "shouldve" Specsavers have moved to trademark the use of all kinds of glasses. A spokesman for the over charging optician told a postbox in Milton Keynes "It's all we can do to protect our business, we can't have people thinking of pubs when talking about glasses. I'm well aware that millions of people will lose their jobs, but look on the bright side, we offer free NHS eye tests to people on income support."
Noted alcoholic Oliver Reed told Derek Acorah "Ooohhhh I'm really pissed and that, but how am I supposed to ask for 27 glasses of wine in the pub now? I suppose it will stop me having a headache in the morning afterlife"

Pub owner L. Andy Lord wrote a Facebook post saying "Fuck off Specsavers, it will always be a glass in my pub, unless you have a pint then it will be a pint. That's not a glass in my book and unless you can prove a pint counts as a glass just because it comes in a glass then we will never shut down. Selling booze to people who are at their absolute lowest is all I have. Without that the kids can probably only have two jet skis for christmas this year."
Glasses wearer and noted virgin Paul Eyesight told a postbox in Milton Keynes "There are only three things I hate in the world, people who try to stop Specsavers from protecting their business interests via a fair trademark of their intellectual property, in this case the words that form a large part of their famous advertising campaign, hack satire that doesn't understand intellectual property and why Specsavers are definitely not just chancing their arm to try and scam money out of people who might use those words in completely unrelated ad campaigns and people who use the same intro to a joke twice in one story."
