Great effort, the funds raised will surely make a difference in small but useful ways.

I've got one of those establishments at the end of my road Malcolm...

There's always flashy motors parked outside on double yellows; they clearly believe the rules don't apply to them....

No, you're right, too much sun is not good. You need a bit for Vitamin D production but you can get that by exposing yourself to decent sunlight for about 20 minutes a day...
