Does anyone know of somewhere locally that sells face masks with clear panels so people can see your lips / facial expressions?


I was going to carry on wearing a mask after Monday as cases are over 50,000, cases in Southwark are above the average and its one small thing I can do for all the workers who come into contact with multiple people all day to keep the risk down for them and their families. Personally I also want to have some choice around what I can do for my birthday at the end of August as going away isn?t an option for us and I fear some restrictions may be reimposed.


Two places I will be going to are going to encourage mask wearing and I?ll come into contact with one person who is deaf in one ear and possibly one other that I know of.


I know masks are available online but if possible I?d like to buy locally.


If anyone has any experience of clear masks - particularly of them fogging up, or stopping them fogging up that would be appreciated.


Stay safe and consider wearing your mask indoors after Monday if you were thinking of stopping. Other parts of the UK are keeping them, Israel did away with the legal requirement and then brought it back in, medical opinion varies but I don?t know about anyone else but I?d hate to pass it on unknowingly and risk someone getting long Covid, or someone young ending up with ongoing organ damage which has recently been reported.


Stay safe

I make masks and did consider clear panel for the deaf, however the fogging up and hygiene issues were an issue so I didn't pursue it. It is a problem though. The clear plastic ones that are not enclosed are not effective against cover, they are more for aesthetics. a plastic enclosed mask would not enable you to breathe....its an issue in the deaf community that I don't think can be resolved very easily.

Thanks Pugwash. I?m happy to do this but not everyone is. Also, if issues with masks with clear panels that came up when we first started wearing them have been addressed then wearing one would be no different to me and might help those who lip read without them needing to ask

      High Court is a boost to Reform?

      By vladi · Posted

      Is  the  decision by the High Court not to  deport an Eritrean man  to France on Wednesday anything other than a massive boost for Farage and reform. Farage has made a commitment for the UK to exit the ECHR which limits the independence of our justice system The UK Government’s “one in, one out” has failed at the first hurdle - just as the Rwanda scheme did under the Tories. To make it even more embarrassing is that the accommodation for deportees   in Rwanda paid for by the UK is now being used by the USA for its deportees. If we are to have Farage thrust upon us as a result of such judicial decisions, then God help us.

      Recommendation: Spoiltdog aka Andy

      By Ms P · Posted

      I recently hired Andy to paint the newly plastered walls in my front room, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the start, he offered a fair and reasonable price for the work, and his professionalism really stood out. Andy has a wealth of experience and was happy to share suggestions about colour choices and paint types, which made the decision-making process much easier. He completed the work within the agreed timescale, and I am very happy with the finish.  What impressed me most is that Andy went above and beyond what I initially asked. He not only painted the room beautifully but also helped with extra tasks such as putting up the wall bracket, curtain poles, and curtains, and even gave me a hand moving furniture between rooms. That level of support is rare and very much appreciated. If you’re looking for a painter and decorator who is reliable, trustworthy, reasonably priced, experienced, and willing to go the extra mile to help, I would highly recommend Andy.

      JP Plastering - John McCann - Recommended Plasterer

      By Ms P · Posted

      John recently skimmed the walls in our front room lounge, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the result. From start to finish, he was professional, punctual, and easy to work with.   He arrived on time each day and kept me updated on progress, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. The quality of his plastering is smooth, even, and ready to paint with minimal prep. He takes real pride in his work.   John was also very tidy, laying down protective sheets and cleaning up thoroughly after the job was done. It’s clear he respects his clients’ homes, which I really appreciated.   On top of that, he’s friendly, approachable, and trustworthy someone you feel comfortable having in your home. His pricing was fair and transparent, with no unexpected costs.   Highly recommended if you're looking for a skilled and reliable plasterer. I’ll definitely be using him again for any future work.
