I forgot to add, its common sense not to look at the sun full stop so theres no need to for the government to tell people, parents should know and therefore children shouldnt look at the sun fullstop regardless of whether its an eclipse or not.
Now me I seem to be able to look at the sun as I have no lenses in my eyes hense my goofy glasses. Im not sure if it can actually damage my eyes more than they are already damged. I may have retinas Im not sure.
BBC 1 news, I dont read papers dont see the need to with such good news coverage these days
