On Australian television in the early 1980s to 2000s, we were advised to “Slip, Slop, Slap, Seek, Slide” – to encourage us to not only to slip on a shirt, slop on sunscreen and slap on a hat, but to also seek shelter from the summer sun and slide on sunglasses.

Sun burn is a definite problem. Solution – a really cool hat such as a beret slightly atilt.

Florida is a dangerous place to live, too. I always wear a hat and sunglasses.

Isn’t there a saying about ‘mad dogs and Englishmen going out in the noonday sun?’ I expect it applies to Newenglishmen, too…

Long sleeves and hats and SPF 1000 sunscreen is how Aussies protect against sun cancer (as they call it)
