don, We used to be able to buy it in any of the supermarkets in ss. Then a couple of years ago it disappeared from the shelves.... maybe the eec regs finally hit greece or something. We thought that it had gone for good but then last year it re appeared. We got it at Margaritas and i also saw it in another supermarket in St George when we were over there.  Maybe they have changed formula or something, but it still works for me.

Someone has also told me that the boots own stuff in the grey bottles is excellent. A friend who is usually eaten alive wherever he goes used it a couple of weeks ago somewhere where there were loads of mozzies and did not get bitten at all. I suspect that this may be the tropical stuff.

will try anything to keep little blighters at bay!

I think we'll all be trying this stuff - it sounds quite good - can't be too careful after all!!

Jules:
Is it something to do with a product in it called deet? I think that got banned in the UK.

Think you might be right Jules although friends in US say its still in products there and they tend to be paranoid about what they use. I did not check the ingredients. I reckon if i am only using something for a short time its not going to be a problem..... now you are all going to think of something that using even for  very short time would not be a good idea.... bring it on you lot !!!! : ;D ;D ;D

(Radio active sun cream.... ?????)

I always take antihistamines as well just in case one of the little blighters gets me. It helps with the itching.
Radio active sun cream sounds great - we would all glow very nicely on the beach :o
