Went for a long bike ride today, now have cycle shorts tan lines. On route I saw a few guys in well above the knees shorts, mostly older shorts brought out of cupboards.
On the beach there were younger people paddling in the sea in their boxer briefs (same design as a square cut swimwear), although they arrived at the beach in longer shorts they had stripped off to swim. If this catches on then swimming in the sea in underwear to save getting "day shorts" wet will bring back square cut swimwear.
The sun only started shining here on Wednesday, it seems to have been too much for some, there were emergency ambulances rushing to calls throughout the day, lights flashing and sirens wailing.
As I left the beach it appeared that something was going on in the Thames Estuary, the Police were supporting Coastguards who were staring out to sea, more Coastguards were rushing to the scene in their 4 wheel drives. I never found out what was happening.
