This week I have mostly been.....

....working on my T-shirt tan!

Caught sight of myself in a hotel mirror at the weekend and was shocked to see I am still the archetypal pasty Englishman from the neck down. I am now condemned to a life without entering public swimming facilities unless I am either fully clothed or I wish to be an object of ridicule for the locals and Westerners alike.

I hope the photo doesn't offend too many of your sensibilities. If anybody has a better photographic representation of this phenomena I will gladly post it up here upon receipt... you may take that as a challenge and please remember names are being changed to protect the incontinent.

I also hear Britain has a new Prime Minster or is it Prime Ministers????
