    the Tesco by us has a sign on the entrance that says you must wear a tshirt.

    I have asked the security plenty of times if I am OK to go shopping in a shirt or a Jumper as it says I must wear a Tshirt and I haven't got one.

    Interesting. Until about 10 yrs ago, it was illegal in Aus to label any sunscreen as higher than SPF15+, because they said it was pretty meaningless above that level.

    I still always buy the SPF30+ though.

    And later...

    ....in November it will probably be cold, cold,aaagh....and the drive through the Cairngorms in the middle of the month will probably be challenging. On the bright side, no midges.

    Mrs K really dislikes my hat.

    Still wear high factor gunge as there is a lot of reflection off the water. I still end up with more 'glow' that I would like.
