I remember a work colleague years ago who fell asleep in the sun and got THE most spectacular sunburn I've ever seen. It was only down her front - so there was a brilliant line of burn/non-burn running down either side of her neck / arms / legs. Because she was sleeping, even her eyelids were burned. Didn't help that she was ginger with very fair skin, which just made the burnt bits look even redder against the non-burnt bits.

She'd have lit the room up if you'd turned off the lights...

That brings to mind the Rab C Nesbit episode in Spain where Jamie Cotter asked the Spanish sun to do it's worse...:laugh:


There is absolutely no point at all in Gingers sunbathing.....

If you stare at them for too long you get a strange craving for crab sticks !!

On Saturday evening I noticed I had one pink arm (wrist up to my t shirt sleeve) and one pink leg from the ankle to where my shorts began. It's faded now but looked pretty silly for a while :blush: . We had cycled north all morning with the sun on our right, then south in the afternoon by which time the sun was on our right side again. I don't know why but it never even occured to me to get the sun tan lotion out.

I have to be really careful in the sun. Fair Celtic skin, red hair and sun don't mix.:sad:

Having hair going a bit thin on top means I have another area to burn if I don't wear a cap.

The most asymmetrical sunburn I ever got was on 30th June 1990 at the Nordoff Robbins concert at Knebworth. I spent the vast majority of the time the sun was out with it shining on the left of my face leaving a beautiful tan. Unfortunately the right side was in constant shade and pasty white in comparison.

The worst sunburn I ever had was when I was 14 and was at the Royal Air Tattoo. Stood there all day watching the planes with the sun behind me, wearing t - shirts and shorts, and with very little sun cream. By the end of the day, the back of my legs we so badly burnt It was sore just to walk and later had to have a bath with camomile lotion (which was embarrassing as my Mum insisted on helping me because I could hardly move by this point).

Still, I saw Concorde! (Not in the bath).

I once fell asleep, face down, on a beach in France. My lovely pals pulled my trunks down, so not only did the backs of my legs get burnt, but my bare bum did too. Very uncomfortable drive home, sticking to the plastic back seat of a German Renault 5. Sat in a cold bath in my hosts' house later, before going to bed. I'd gelled my hair after having the bath, and woke up with it still perfectly set next morning as I hadn't moved an inch in my sleep....!
