My new lodger Tara asked me to put some moisturising cream on her sun-burn. She had caught the sun whilst riding her bike down to Ogmore and back, very fit girl....
When she exposed her back I had the shock of my life "What's that you've got written all over your back?" I spluttered. "My brother is in Iraq it is for him" she explained .."It is from the British Legion" "I can see that" I answered as I started reading about the sun going down and always remembering....
"Why on earth would you want to go around like a walking tombstone?" It worries me what she is going to think of it in 10 years time, it might be cool now...I seem to recall that the pop star "Pink" has a check out tattoo on her body somewhere. She would actually beep on a supermarket checkout operator's till, something to do with how much she's worth...
It is such a shame that young people feel they have to mutilate their bodies to make statements...
