Topic: Eye Care
In the U.S., people shot darts in bars until they are half in the bag. In the U.K., it's a sport--a professional sport worth hundreds of thousands to winners. That explains why the following story was front page news for the Sun.
Phil Taylor [champion darts player] has been told that he needs glasses.
Opticians say the sharpest eye in darts should wear specs on the oche, starting at next week's Grand Slam.
It comes on the back of The Power's worst run of form in almost three years - with three defeats in a fortnight.
Taylor, 50, said: "Maybe that explains why I'm suddenly losing matches - it's because I can't see the board.
"As long as I don't look like Ugly Betty I don't care."
