I was going to get some lovely fabric from Cath Kidston and make my own.

only if they are doing them in pistachio with a raspberry trim

I wondered why my Tesco delivery driver was wearing one earlier.

Has it been enforced from head office do you reckon?

flymetothemoon · 01/05/2009 21:11

Seriously?? The Tesco staff are wearing them? Haven't seen anyone wearing one yet.

MamaHobgoblin · 01/05/2009 21:11

Your local Tescos staff were wearing them?? Good god. Where are you, Falkirk?

Apparently they're next-to-useless, unless you're actually the one with the lurgy, and then they might help stop it spreading, but you'd have to change it all the time, and also dispose of the old ones safely.

interesting article regarding face masks

Tescos gets on my pigging nerves.

well pharmacies are going to be somewhere people with symptoms go, so it makes sense to protect the staff.

I work in a clean room area, and our local supplier (from which we order loads of masks every week)has run out of masks.
good news for our production line!
