Does anyone know where I can buy solar eclipse glasses from in what site?

I want to buy the glasses that are safe to use it when the solar eclipse arrive in the UK on 20th March.

I know it is too early to buy the glasses, but I want to take my own time to find the right one that are suitable and safe to use it. I won't buy the glasses on ebay just in case they could selling fake.

Thanks in advance

Just pop into your local engineers' suppliers and buy a pair of 'welding goggles'. I'm sure they'd do the job just as well (probably better) and be rather cheaper than anything some cowboy has brought out specially for a once in a decade event.

Or you could even do what viewers were suggested to do half a century ago and smoke your own glass with a candle flame (though it's hard to judge exactly how much to smoke it and hazardous if you get it wrong).
