My grandson was born there and lives there and was D deficient due to not enough sun shines there

It doesn't take a whole lot to do the job. The sunscreen usage keeps out what little might have gotten through. The weather in Britain has not changed. The usage of sunscreen and amount of outside time has.

You are wrong. Sports doctors were all over grandson due to his arm breaking twice - grandson and his tennis buddies do not use sunscreen because there is not enough sun to bother with it. I have been there many times and stayed for weeks at various times of the year and no one uses sun screen, that would be ridiculous. Those children don’t get any D in milk because it is not put in it.

My son says the sun shines two days a year, that is summer, and when it does, he’s outside in the back yard soaking it up.

To get sun, my grandson was taken to Spain to soak up sun.

There is a reason why people there carry umbrellas every day - that is because it rains there almost every afternoon and I’ve been there and carried one, too.

I’ve been going there over 25 years and to see sun there is an exception rather than the rule.
