Took them top local optics shop with view to repair but proprietor sucked teeth in car mechanic fashion and tried to interest me in £300 Minoltas. No way I was going for that and snapped up a 'Medion' branded pair of 8*40 @£29.99 from Aldi as a stop gap.

Last resort check with Olympus and turned out the old ones had a 25yr warranty!!! No need to find receipt; serial number was sufficient proof of provenance. Old set duly dispatched to Olympus/Ricoh in Nottingham a fortnight ago.

Today, on return from my CAB day, I found mysterious DHL package from Portugal(!) lodged with neighbour* at number 25. Turned out to contain brand new replacements.

* She and I are both early retirees and share duty as parcel collection for half the road. Her hall today looked like a sorting office....
