>I can imagine the "village people" type users in CA but in Brighton, sadly no eye-candy even for the ladies: Just huge bulging beer bellies with accompanying shrinking appendages (not that I spend ANY TIME there studying, you understand, just passing glances when I go passed the beach) :-)

Ha Ha! No I'm the last male on Earth to wear Speedos (except for aquatic competition). Everywhere I've been these past few years every male has sported shorts down to the knees: at the swimming pools here, when I was on holiday in France this summer, on the beach here. 2 years ago, when I was on holiday in Toronto, I took the family to "Ontario Place", a huge water park in Toronto. I was acutely conscious of the fact that I was literally the only male there in speedos. I didn't get "funny looks" though. I still wear them so I don't end up with a tan, but with white thighs.
