"This is how hot it is in Saudi"
 

I remember once (in AD) I ran to the shoreline without footwear not realizing how bloody hot the sand was going to be . Once I started running I was too far from the shade to turn back and the water was still too far and my soles were baking.

I once burned the soles of my feet in Bournemouth walking around barefoot, hatefully painful.

Bournemouth ? Don't go to the tropics. I suggest Tobermory or Stornoway !

I would love to visit some of the Scottish islands, unfortunately though, Bournemouth used to be down the road so won on convenience!

I'd recommend the distillery tour at Tobermory too. Lovely stuff.

Mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun. No chance of that in Tobermory !

Finding an Englishman or the midday sun.

Probably both.

Plenty of mad dogs though, known colloquially as "jocks".

"Bad feet, bad! :frown:"

Did your soles take heed and behave in future? :unsure:

Tobermory is full of English. The place is swarming with "white settlers" !
