Mark,

The Axminster looks ok....

Respirators + facemasks etc are no news to me as I did commercial horticulture initially (way back), which involves crop spraying.  Also , more recently, I have woked in private gardens doing knapsack spraying.

I;m not a great fan of face  masks as you frequently can't see what you're doing.  The one you recommend looks ok though.

Yes, as I say,  the cold/cough was unbeleivable; how much of it was due to the turning...don't know.  Its prob a good  job it made me look it up. 

Thanks for your help, Mark.
