I do take some solace from the fact I NEVER sunbake, ALWAYS mow with a broad-brimmed hat, and NEVER otherwise needlessly stand in the sun, (this sounds like a Sun newspaper editorial now lol) but it's time I arrested this nasty habit.
anyone else care to admit...

I'd guess those of us brits who sizzled for two weeks on the costas before heading back to grey old britain were storing up damage for the future.

I recall reading a study that says that Aussie men are great at covering up their kids, but lousy at being sun-safe themselves. So you can imagine the message that the kids grow up with. I try not to be too anal about it, but I look around me at the state of guys in their 40s and decide I'll hang onto my pale blue complexion as long as I can : )

One thing though, I can't understand anyone who wears jeans in mid summer... which he does. Eugh! Sweaty.

Played golf with a doc. whose cancer cut-outs made him look like a shishkebab and he says they now think that exposure to UV brings out cancers all over the body, not just in the exposed areas. And that explains the cancers between the toes, near the dangly bits and so on.

Re: Slap-dash with the slip-slop-slap?
Does anyone know of a decent suncream that is actually waterproof? I never wear any when I surf as it always drips into your eyes and stings like hell. Dont really want to end up looking like Lesley Crowther by the time I'm 30 though!!!!
