    Correct

    For general radiation reduction one must use RadAway ideally with Rad Absorption perk

          France or NL for me - both fantastic, for different reasons. High tax & social contributions, but worth it all-round, I reckon.

            you have to use long words occasionally!

            Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

              Portugal. Civilised, warm & sunny (down South at least), good infrastructure. Close enough to get back to the UK very easily. I'm here on a working holiday at the moment, I don't miss the UK one bit.

                Very occasionally .... although I'm not sure fandabiedozie is as respected a long word as it should be!

                    Today - overcast and rainy but still around 20C
                    Last week - bright, sunny, hot, high 20s

                    I'm still sitting in shorts & T shirt and dipping in the pool regularly (TMI possibly)

                    No idea about the real winter months of Dec-Feb though, this is the first time I've been here outside June-Aug period.

                      Can't be worse than the UK can it? More daylight hours too.
