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

[Nicky91]

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

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

Good times

[Cherie]

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

[bitontheslide]

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

And I'm the mug seemingly.

It could cost your life

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 .

Show me the facts regarding the masks saving lives please.

You think 5 pound is an acceptable price for 5 wear once masks?

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.

[parmnion]

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

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.

[parmnion]

I would actually be a lot cheaper buying a cabbage and wearing a new leaf every trip..I'm glad I mentioned that cause I might go down that route in future.

If the masses of medical experts that know more about medical science than any of us are all in agreement that masks help prevent the spread of Covid are not enough to convince you then you are beyond help and determined to be ignorant. You don't want evidence, you want a comforting fairy tale that tells you what you want to hear.

As for Shop Workers not wearing masks. Shop workers go to their shop and stay there for hours, if they go into other shops they were masks just like anyone else but the risk of infection comes from shoppers who might go to several different places in one trip. Not wearing a mask just shows that you think shop workers are lesser human beings not worth protecting.

Also a reusable fabric mask costs like £1-£2 in most places. Get into the habit of keeping a mask on you if you're going out.

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

[LeatherTrumpet]

I'm at my first auction since march. No mask no entry. One eejit was saying I don't wear one because of a medical condition and the porter told wear a visor or no entry

He said but I don't like them, porter said " it's not about you it's for others"
