I've been factor 40-ing since I was 17

We're just ridiculously pale
I'm the only person I know who buys factor 50 stuff

It's a very sensible thing to do though
After spending time in Oz I never use anything below Factor 30.

My familiy believed in burning yourself enough times that it didn't burn any more
Not me though. I'm factor 50 now.

me too
before my mother died my parents had a holiday home in spain, and she used to have to buy me factor 50. it invariably said "para los ninos" (for kids).

i was 22 when they bought it.

my father, meanwhile, could tan in siberia at midnight. he is positively mahogany coloured now from golf. and at 67, barely a wrinkle in sight. most unfair, why the hell did i not inherit that?!
