The downside is the cloth ones are ok for protecting other people but not much good for protecting you from them. Mind you it hasn't been very hot here. These are really comfy and let you breathe easily in Scottish weather. https://www.ffsbshop.co.uk/ Yep...in terms of fit the cloth ones are better as they are more pliable but definitely in warmer weather they are not as good. I discovered by chance that the surgical ones have a wire strip at one end only - this allows the wearer to mould it around their nose for a better fit. Much as I don't mind wearing them, it's great to be able to take it off in a restaurant while eating. Fucking surreal world we now live in! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I don't know what kind of shitty wire they use but I don't get a tight fit on the nose, and I've got the same ones the NHS use. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it just straight off the plane and back home? What about getting food in etc? I’m not up on what this actually involves. Nah I've got the rules on an open tab on my phone, have looked at the bits I need to sort now* but otherwise I arrived yesterday morning and I'm here to relax and spend time with my parents so I'll save the worry of figuring out what it specifically means till the day before I'm due home. *Let my flatmate know. She's a restaurant manager of a place that just reopened so that's the most urgent thing. She's talking to the head office managers to see what they say. If I'm interpreting what I'm reading right, she can still come and go as usual as long as we minimise ever being in the same room. I think most likely she'll go and stay with her boyfriend for it. Also getting a laptop stuff delivered from my new work on Friday or Monday Tuesday the following week so gonna contact the lad who's been helping organise that and just ensure that'll be contactless, but I'm presuming that would be the case anyway so just belt and braces. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was reading an article on Teesside Live earlier about some guy who has gone to Spain and is now moaning about the quarantine, further complicated by the fact that his kids need medication. How about this? Don't go, moron! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been in the compulsory mask stage for about 4 months and the cloth ones were popular at first but slowly most people have moved over to the surgical ones as they are more comfortable. I was in B&M on Fri and it was sweltering in there, so wearing the mask wasn’t pleasant at all. The Ayr one has a wee silky bit which faces inwards and does help a bit. Personally I’ll never wear the surgical ones. I had to wear them in to see my Dad in his last hours in Feb and they trigger that memory whenever I see them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
