I do tan!!!!I'm trying to fnd out the best way to do it though. Usually I burn first but if I wear sunscreen I may just go brown. Shheeeeeesh!!
I use Tesco own brand sunscreen, it's only £3 and I go a nice colour. I don't like being really, really brown and I never burn but I prefer to use factor 20 as then I don't end up like those orange chav types I see around this area.

Madzone I can't believe you live in Cornwall and never go brown. I come from Devon originally and regularly go back to visit. Whenever I am there I notice that all the local people have a special kind of warm tan that comes from being out of doors a lot over several months, and cannot be gotten just by lying on a beach for a few hours.
In fact the hospitals always put out warnings about not being in the sun for more than half an hour at a time. They get a lot of sunburn victims to treat from people falling asleep on beaches and waking up seriously burnt.
I was in Devon for 3 weeks around Easter and I now have a suntan on my face, despite the fact that I stay out of the sun and skulk along on the Dark Side of the roads when I go out. I like blue sky but not too much heat.
The only thing that I can think of that is preventing your legs getting brown in Cornwall, a place more sunny than Devon even, is that you are wearing trousers. Check this out, it may be a simple oversight.

I think your mistake is that you're labouring under the misapprehension that I do anything on the farm. My role is to lie in the garden, overseeing the work and proividing succourMadzone I can't believe you live in Cornwall and never go brown.

Quite. I'm pasty pale but with a ruddy red look over the top.
Don't know what happened. I have actual real life pictures of me as a kid and I'm really lovely brown. Then I hit puberty and it's like they came in my room one night and replaced me with someone else.

Seriously, that's apparently what some of my relatives in Wales do. Or so I hear. Or heard. When I was 6.

I don't mind having pale skin, its just the chance of burning that gets me. Having to be so paranoid about burning, I never really get the chance to relax. And tbh, in the UK we very rarely have nice weather for long, so I don't feel bad for being white the 350 odd days of the year when it isn't sunny.
