Nearly half of Britons got sunburnt this summer and many would be willing to do so again to get a tan, a survey reveals.

The poll of 2,000 people found 46% had sunburn this year, and a third of these were tan-seekers.

Of these tanners, more than a third said they did the same each year and a third said they would again, the Cancer Research UK and Superdrug study found.

Stupid idiots

I got a bit burnt this year, round the neck. Accidental, caught out without suncream at Alton Towers!

Yes but would you go out again to get a tan?

That would put you in the sensible population. Accidental sun burn can happen to anyone. I avoid the sun but will not take any precautions when out. I limit my exposure to the walks outside to the shops to get my Vitamin D

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.
