[Gogsy! I have been there once already! I have another year before I get my state pension and had no intention of retiring then as I enjoy my job in the main and think I still have lots to give]

Fair enough, DQ - I guess we're all different.

I'd 'take the money & run'. (Literally :-) )

Given the face covering mandatory on public transport in England now

Son uses bus
Should he use 1 per journey eg 2 a day
And wash before next use?

EP, I think two per day would be best, if feasible.

Where is the best place to buy face masks? How should we make the choice if there is more than one?

My wife has a selection of very fashionable masks.

I have running buffs. Ironically, I did use them early on. Back then, people on Fetch criticised me.

Some said non-medical face coverings were utterly useless.

Others said they would scare people, as it would give the impression I was outdoors whilst infected.

Now, it would seem that everyone is a face covering cheerleader.

I assume buffs are allowable. I have been using Fetch ones. (I don't know if Fetch has any in stock).

Scottish Govt advice reads simply

"By face coverings we do not mean the wearing of a surgical or other medical grade mask but a facial covering of the mouth and nose, that is made of cloth or other textiles and through which you can breathe, for example a scarf"

A buff would have to do if wearing a face covering becomes law here.
