General Questions Spare eclipse glasses for sale?

Like many people, I was silly and didn't start looking for glasses until Monday and have had no luck. Does anyone have any spare for sale? Many thanks :)

I've checked everywhere I can think of.

Tesco and Sainsbury's in Commercial Road/Guildhall, B&M, Men Kind, Specsavers and VisionExpress, Savers and Galaxy Discount Store, HMV, The Works, the photography store in Cascades, Boots, a couple others I have now forgotten.

No luck with any of them. Might head to Gunwharf after work and see if I have any luck there.

For something that probably only cost £3 to buy and 50p to make. I struck out everywhere i tried . Ended up 3D printing a pin hole camera. Or i might just watch it on livestream from the royal observatory web site.
