So I popped up to sainsburys last night but forgot my mask so had to buy some at the cigarette kiosk before shopping.

5 made in china, wear once disposable masks for £5.

And I'm the idiot for not wanting to wear one.

You do realise you can use a face covering in general, doesn't have to be a mask you buy just as long as it cover's your mouth and nose .

Well apart from sneaking in and ripping off a cabbage leaf to stick to my face I didnt really have another option...so had to buy the masks to keep everyone's face straight

You don't own a scarf or bandana ? , those have the same effect as a mask that's my point .

It's not 1990 fgs so no of course I don't own a bandana.jee whizz the very thought makes my head hurt

It's a bit hot for me to be carrying a scarf around and I have a nice silk washable gap mask that looks like a pair of skimpy knickers when on.


The point is...£5 bloody quid for 5 throw away ones in a high street supermarket is disgusting.

it's simple you wear a face mask, or you stay at home


also you can make own face coverings with a scarf, you can wear sunglasses too (which you'll have now since its summer anyway but protect your eyes too, it can also enter via the eyes)

Good point, about time we made sunglasses compulsory in shops

Masks are to stop you spreading anything to someone else, not to stop you catching it yourself.

Remember when everybody was like "face masks don't even do anything"

Good times

I put one through the wash by accident and apart from the blue running a bit it was perfectly wearable

Or when there was none....and now all of a sudden theres an abundance for sale at extortionate prices to the whole nation.


And I'm the mug seemingly.

[bots]

i've got 150 medical grade masks, so i think i'm good for a day or 2

[smudgie]

The visors are cheap enough online, use them time free time plus they protect the eyes.
Masks are only 65p/70p each in Tesco etc.
Washable masks are only about a fiver for 3 in Aldi/Lidl

I've been fine since march just keeping to 2 metres...


And fine entering my 1000th different house since the original lockdown, often having a coffee or kids and adults breathing over me..still never caught it..oh how I've tried, but no.

Still you all moan and yearn for that one coffee and chat with a loved one you have all trusted to have been as carefull as you all have have...


Just saying..eh.

I do wear one now but it’s bollox, I only started wearing one when it became compulsory, and some big supermarkets are not inforcing the new rule.

And the staff don’t have to wear one.

Utter government bollox.

[Dogeatdog]

I think the reusable masks are better since I wouldn’t want to keep spending money on disposable ones all the time. Personally I wouldn’t wear the visor things cause I’d feel a bit too embarrassed but they’re the better option if you wear glasses.

No Parmy you're the idiot for forgetting your mask . You had to part with a fiver because of your own forgetfulness - no other reason. If it's a conspiracy it's not a very good one .

Whether it is or it isn't, you're not forced to buy them.

I felt like I had to.

Because you forgot the one you already had.

I keep a box in my car for things like this.

I even hugged an elderly lady customer last friday in her house...I had a mask on at the time though.
