Fair, yeah disposables seem like the way to go. I haven't gone out shopping! The online shop posted upthread looks good. No Amazon pls.

I can vouch for rs-online, they are a huge seller of manufacturing industry equipment, electrical components, and such. My last purchase from them (some uncommon video cables) I picked up from their branch in Bermondsey. They may even have masks in store there, I don't remember. It was more of a showroom than a shop.

I've been using disposable FFP2 masks for months. You can use them a lot more than the official usage life as @Stonehedge says but you have to bin them eventually.
I tried lots of pharmacies at the time, no joy, so ordered from Amazon. Honestly at the moment if you go around multiple shops trying to find them with a standard face covering which offers zero protection from contracting the virus you're probably undermining a lot of the benefit of FFP2/3 masks with those interactions! I would be avoiding shops where possible pre-Christmas.
