BURY businessman Stuart Jones set his sights on cheering up his customers by launching a brand of winter sunglasses and calling them "funglasses".

The eyewear designer tried out his new creations on his wife Sonja before putting his idea into production.

He has now launched a range of yellow and orange tinted lenses to banish the winter blues.

Stuart said the idea arose while he was sheltering from a sudden cloudburst.

"I was standing in a tram shelter and could see everyone was totally fed up with the gloomy weather day after day, and needed someting to cheer them up.

"I had been working on a range of fun eyewear for winter, so I decided to try some colour tinted lenses.

"I asked my wife to give them a trial and she was so impressed we decided to launch a new collection."

Wife Sonja added: "They really cheer you up. Everything just looks brighter and fresher."
