Just a continuation of the drip drip drip criticism of the RSPB over countless threads.He says they need to be criticised for stopping selling these binoculars online, then admits he himself uses the reserve stores to try them out, then buys online elsewhere. Relies on or exploits the RSPB to try out the optics, but gives nothing in return by buying elsewhere ...isn't that akin to a parasite? In reality, yes too harsh, probably most of of us try out optics in one place, then buy elsewhere. However, perhaps, before criticising and proclaiming disappointment with the RSPB yet again, he should wonder if his actions are maybe part of the reason why they don't sell online anymore.</blockquote>
