Practicing for my trip back to the UK
I can't do anything about my tan but I don't want to stand out too much when I go back to the UK next week. So I'm practicing being in the UK by shuffling around the office looking miserable and being rude to all my colleagues.

Or you could put a blindfold on at 3:30pm and head outside and pretend its Dark...
Or you could head up the mitchell freeway at 5pm, turn your engine off for 2hrs and pretend your on the M25....

Go into your local supermarket & stand in frozen food isle until you turn blue & start shivering to acclimatise before you arrive in UK.

The best way is to stop asking shop staff how they are. Cos they will look at you in amazement.
They will think you are mad back home, in certain places. Sure, if you come from a small Welsh village where everyone knows everyone you may not get that; I'll grant you.
