We are so unserious as a nation 😅⁠ ⁠ Millions of people are preparing for one of the most significant solar eclipses visible from the UK since 1999, with more than 90% of the Sun set to be covered by the Moon across much of the country.⁠ ⁠ But if you’ve left buying your glasses until the last minute… good luck.⁠ ⁠ Eclipse glasses have been selling out across the country, with the BBC reporting huge queues and shops struggling to keep up with demand. One London shopkeeper said a handful of stores had sold 26,000 pairs in just three days, while a shop in Wales reportedly shifted 500 pairs within hours.⁠ ⁠ One woman in Cardiff even paid £20 for a pair after struggling to find them elsewhere.⁠ ⁠ Just remember: experts warn you should never look directly at the Sun without proper protection, even during a partial eclipse.⁠ ⁠ #SolarEclipse #Sun #LADbible
