The British "nanny state" is at it again

Here in England a heatwave has been forecast prompting the Government to issue a "heat health" warning. Seriously! Part of the warning is to keep cool and drink plenty. Surely that's just common sense. We don't need to be told. For heaven's sake just leave us alone

I have a friend who worked at a resort in the Caribbean that had a clothing optional section of the beach. He said they referred to the German tourist as sausages since they arrived in the winter and immediately hit the beach totally naked and took 2-3 hours of sun the first day.

Day two they looked like cooked sausages and were moving around gingerly with sunburned bodies and especially their genitals and their weeks vacation was spoiled. No amount of warning or caution seemed to have any effect.
