    My legs NEVER burn, they just slowly, very slowly get darker.
    The 28 year old son of my dearest friend died of skin cancer yet he had never "sunbathed" in his life.

    I can't see in bright sunlight so I've never had a tan.  My NNE facing patio is essential. If it faced south, I'd never go there in the summer. I hate the heat. If it's cold ,you can put in a jumper. If it's hot, there's bgggggr all you can do about it

    I had a BCC removed from bang in the middle of my spine. If it hasn't itched (then bled) I wouldn't have known of its existence. Surgeon removed an inch either side. I wasn't allowed to drive or lift for a couple of weeks. Had a job to sleep,it pulled! No pain though,done under a local. Never ever heard of one being treated with liquid nitrogen, because they check the margins. I have had a keratin horn and last year a seborrheic keratosis removed from my cheek by freezing. I'd gone to my GP with a weird non healing legion bang in the middle of my nose, came and went for 6 months, got appointment very quickly at a dermatology clinic (boy was he cute) and it disappeared!!! My late father had solar keratosis, from his national service.... blue eyed blonds,he had cream, which got rid of the problem.

    It cost me £107 to fill up the car today :|

    They’ve been on about people cut down on the burning of fuel,  perhaps it’s their way of forcing it,  we’ve certainly noticed a significant reduction in cars in our area.

    Today I drove through one of the new 20mph trial zones that have been set up in Wales. It's supposed to be a blanket speed limit to replace anywhere that was 30mph previously. Maybe it will reduce emissions but it feels painfully slow.

    No shortage of cars in town today - took me three goes to get through one set of traffic lights.

    Crikey @wild edges, that's a lot. I rather think that's going to be the new 'normal'.

    All 20mph around here. We can often get up to that speed now that there are fewer cars on the roads due to the price of fuel.

    We're 20 mph as well, apart from the A roads through the city. It hasn't helped the pollution problem, especially on the hills and the trouble is, you get so used to crawling along trying to do 20, you forget to go faster outside the city.

    At 20 mph on an incline most cars will need to use a lower gear, this= higher revs more fuel burned worse pollution.  I'm  not even talking about steep hills just every day inclines.
