Judge tells man he 'should have gone to Specsavers' after bid to rob plucky pensioner
A judge has told man who tried to rob a pensioner on her way home from bingo that he "should have gone to Specsavers" after he paid a back-handed compliment to the woman by saying he thought she was 36 years old and not in her 80s.
Nineteen-year-old Darren White pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to two counts of attempted robbery on April 4 of last year and told gardaí he had been very drunk at the time.
