solar eclipse glasses

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 type "Solar Eclipse Glasses" in your search engine of choice and you will find numerous sites.

    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).

    They'd do just fine, but as it states they don't know when they'll get stock in, you'll have to look elsewhere.
