Your back as well. Used to swear by it - and in it.

Brilliant but heart murmer-inducingly brutal.
There's one in the Switch Island one. I did actually pluck up the courage to do it one. I stress the word 'once' as I'd never do it again. Used to amaze me the way old women would come straight out the sauna and dip straight in there. Gotta hate them having more balls than me.
