Today I watched a queue of Finns and most of them had tiny glasses on...did they invent the trend for tiny glasses?

I only have 1 Finnish friend who wears glasses - and yes, they are tiny.

I always thought it was the Dutch that invented the wearing of tiny, too small glasses cos they were the first people I saw wearing them way back in the v early 90s. But as I hadn't met any Finns then I could be wrong Grin

MIL is Finnish and wears small glasses, partly because her nose is also pretty small. Did they have typical Finnish noses?
Actually, she reckons that there is a sort of uniform - severe haircut, small glasses, plain suit.

Didn't check the noses so closely ..didn't realise the minute noses may be a factor Smile
