Anyone get royal mail branded masks today? Only took a year.
Yep. We got ours last week; all the way from Guangdong Province, China. I haven't tried my one yet. I reckon we all should have at least two each, so that while one is being worn the other can be in the laundry (maximum of thirty washes).

In Europe some parts of some countries have banned the use of reusable and/or home-made ones and only now allow the use of surgical and the N (whatever the number is) masks

We finally got the multi-packs today. It seems there was a limited number of these face masks sent to our delivery office last week. So now I have a half dozen of these new, fandangled dark gray Royal Mail masks as well as the usual blue and white disposable masks we've always used.

3 days in and no change whatsoever. Why do they bother with the pretence? Just tell people to do whatever that want because nothing will be done or said if you don’t wear one. At least that will be honest.
