Ah, yes, true...but you can add a knot in the elastic to shorten the ear loops. If it's too short you really have to replace the elastic.No 3 is the opposite for me they are too big.
He was given it in the delayed birthday honours which were announced in OctoberThose that cannot wear masks for health or mental health reason could wear a screen visor, plenty of people do ! at least it would be some protection for the rest of us. I have also thought of investing in those perspex see through masks that we saw worn by spectators on Strictly, they seem to be a good answer to to those who lip read.

"I got so ****** annoyed by Dr Hilary telling us all we didn't need masks when it's not ****** rocket science that we do. Every bit helps STOP THE SPREAD even if it doesn't protect us completely. If you have it you're spreading it when you talk, cough and even breathe, symptoms or not. If we'd been made to wear homemade coverings from the start and that was being properly enforced some people who are no longer with us, still seriously ill or have long-term problems may have been spared catching it in the first place.
Now, of course, Dr ****** Hilary is telling us all we must wear masks..."
Did I read that Dr '******' Hilary has been given an award in the New Years Honours ?
He'd deserve it a lot more if he wasn't so judgemental. And a kn*b. But that's just my opinion. He's loved by many (who haven't seen him in sleazy action).He was given it in the delayed birthday honours which were announced in October
I agree about the ear loops. Unfortunately I find the front unforgiving, and the wire at the nose does no better job than my cloth masks at allowing me to wear my glasses and see.I find the disposable ones from boots very comfortable at the ears , even my hairdresser commented on them and she had been dealing with customers wearing just about every type available.
Someone I know said it made their glasses ice upanother tip I’ve read is to use microporous tape on the bridge of your nose and the mask will stick to it, not tried it yetA local optician keeps advertising a coating on your specs to stop the misting up. Anyone tried it?
What about for your gift drawer, as well as the postman, binman, etc?I went totally overboard & have 16... Two for autumn, two for Christmas, Day of the Dead, poppies for Remembrance Sunday, various florals, foxes, cows, bees, lemons & Snoopy.

Yes I have seen discarded masks on the floor in my local Lidl, and so many older folk wearing masks as a chin hammock! Why ffs?! Its meant to cover the nose and mouth not just your chin and I don't believe that half the people that aren't wearing them are excluded for good reason, if people aren't challenged or have to have some sort of evidence they can't wear one then a lot of the public just won't and don't bother, makes my blood boil
I went to the Post Office earlier, it was snowing heavily & as one flake puts me into a mood by the time I'd walked through the blizzard I was dead grumpy. There was an elderly lady in the queue who was wearing hers under her chin & hacking a Capstan Extra Strength cough, she got told by several people, including me, that she needed to get herself sorted. I've had enough of the shambolic approach to this situation & if I see someone who isn't following the rules, whatever their age, I now give my opinion, my Mr T says I'll either get arrested or beaten up!Yes I have seen discarded masks on the floor in my local Lidl, and so many older folk wearing masks as a chin hammock!

Not to mention the scum who discard their used masks in the supermarket car park or even in their trolleyI've emailed Hand2coq many time asking why disposable masks aren't classed as bio hazard waste & the risks they pose just being thrown away with the household rubbish. I've also added that they are a danger to wildlife & pets, I haven't received a reply.
I’m usually happy to challenge people in public if their behaviour is bothering me (I’m gentle !), but thus far I’ve held back from commenting on masks, distances etc.I went to the Post Office earlier, it was snowing heavily & as one flake puts me into a mood by the time I'd walked through the blizzard I was dead grumpy.
