I always think a too-brown tan makes people look a bit odd - not to mention wrinkly!

With modern 'tinted' moisturisers it is possible ot look ok - unless you're going swimming of course!

Anyone who uses a sunbed is just stupid and deserves no sympathy when they end up with melanoma.

Listening to the 0870 numbers bit, I got the impression that we the public are footing the bill for market research for many companies if we use the 0870 numbers which I think is a damned disgrace. If they want that information they should pay for it themselves.

I have used the "say no to 0870 " site a few times and it worked well.

How does that work, Helen? Do you have a link?

This is their website Del http://www.saynoto0870.com/search.php
You put in the company name and it comes up with an alternative normal number if there is one available.

I used it for Sony a while ago and the number it gave was a general reception number but they put me through to the right department.

I think there may be some other info on Martin Lewis's website. It's quite good if you have time to delve into the various areas. A lot is common sense but I've picked up a few tips from it. www.moneysavingexpert.com

The email newsletter is good as well, I've had it for ages now.
