Fast Tan - Going for the Melanoma Burn


Per capita, parts of Scotland have higher skin cancer rates than Australia. This amazing fact come courtesy of the Scots obsession with tanning salons and getting burned in their annual trip to the sun in the South of Spain. My grandparents went to hot locations once a year and burned their skins to a crisp, making up for the gloom, rain, cloud, wind and general meteorological misery that characterises Scottish weather. Glasgow has the highest density of self service tanning booths in the world, where you pay one pound fifty for three minutes. Apparently school kids were nipping out for a tan at lunchtime. I can certainly understand it, but what a ticking time bomb. Melanoma is no fun.

any way you can remove me from that service? Appreciate it!
