Where has Dominic Raab been?

[crystaltips98]

Just watching Dominic Raab on the news and he has a pretty impressive tan considering the poor weather we have had. Where has he been to get this tan and AIBU to assume he has been enjoying foreign holidays while lots of us try to do the right thing and stay local?

Yeah theres no way anyone can appear tanned without leaving the UK...

We’ve had loads of sun here and DH has a beautiful tan. I’m pasty as hell but I always am.

He is the Foreign Secretary. Maybe he has been visiting foreign.

@Cismyfatarse hahaha maybe. I must be at the rainy end of the country at the moment.

We have had glorious weather (in between some rain) here in London to past few months. My son and I both have a string tan as we go brown easily because of our Mediterranean heritage. Even my freckled white husband is a bit darker than usual.

The weather has been good and we have been home. My DH and DC have been working in the garden, playing golf and walking and look like they have been in Thailand all summer.

The weather has been brilliant. He could have easily tanned if he’s been in the south east and outside a lot. Or he could have gone away for work or gone on holiday as it is perfectly legal to do.

I’ve got the best tan I’ve ever had and I’ve not left the country. And he’s looked pretty tanned throughout, I think he’s just got a complexion that tans easily.

I think the bigger question is where has he been given he’s not been in the news for weeks?

I do a lot of work on building sites and there is an impressive range of tans at the moment among the contractors staff.

We have had amazing weather some days and even on the not so sunny days I’ve gone a bit pink (SE) Many people have been commenting saying I’m very tanned- I spent a few days outside and one on the beach in the SE!

My sister looks as if she spent the whole of lock down in the Med and not in her Gloucestershire garden. I've got a freckle or two. She got the good skin.

To be fair it has been very hot where we are (I'm a couple of miles away from him).

What do you mean OP - the weather has been beautiful. Are you in the Outer Hebrides or something?

Just about to say the same thing. I’m a few miles away from where he lives and we’ve had regular glorious weather since May. I’m quite tanned without aiming to be.

Beauty salons are opened in England maybe went for a fake bake

Weathers been not to bad especially in June it was lovely where I live maybe he just caught a tan from his garden

I'm in Scotland and I've got a great tan from sitting in the garden.

Anyway - I saw him earlier on Sky and thought he looked shattered. What tan?

I'd be surprised if someone in his position has spent much time in the garden during a national crisis.

Maybe he's like DP, who seems to get a tan in the time it takes to walk to the compost heap and back.

DP's legs are really brown, and he hasn't sat out in the sun at all, so they've changed colour just from going to and from the car or emptying the bin.

What poor weather. I've had the best tan in years from just sitting in the garden. Even got slightly burnt yesterday.

He is the Foreign Secretary. Maybe he has been visiting foreign.

Oh this is very funny!!

Countrygirl - my DH has literally set up his office on the patio! He works pretty much full time out there taking calls, zoom meetings and working on documents!

@SeasonFinale is your husband a member of The Cabinet at a time of national crisis and dealing with issues that would be covered by the Official Secrets Act? Because last time I looked Raab was and an office on the patio would be highly inappropriate. Although it would go a long way to explaining government performance if they all sunning themselves in the garden.

I thought when Boris bends over the whole cabinet gets a tan ?

Or is that Dominic ? Hard to keep up with who's in and who's in the power crazed stakes these days.
