    No surprise to me. I was in the UK last month and it was quite hot and sunny for a while too. I’m Australian so out of habit just put on sunscreen all the time and kept reapplying occasionally while out.

    I didn’t see a single other person using sunscreen. But saw a lot of lobster red faces and necks. In fact people seemed to go out of their way to expose as much skin as possible to get burnt.

    Crazy to me.

    Can’t expect folks who thought Brexit was a good idea to also understand that sunscreen helps save lives.

    As an Australian I see alot if overseas backpackers doing farm work over here. It is shocking to see these folks getting pretty bad suntans and not respecting the Australian sun.

    I wonder if there will be a sharp rise between those that came here in about 20yrs
