...something beginning with B

Probably not most people's area of expertise, but do any of youse know anything about binoculars? I'm looking for something I can use with my glasses on, under £50 and small enough that I will actually take them out with me. My Dad recommends no more than 8x and at least 24mm but the interwebs just confuse me with the illusion of choice...

Do you intend to use them in low light conditions? If so, you should get binos that give a bright picture. These are ones that havre the largest diameter of front lens, and the lowest magnification. Of course, the larger the front lens is, the bigger they will be.
