Given that there are some warm evenings in the UK, they presumably wouldn't dream of doing it here so why do they think it's ok when they are in another country.

At Letoon, you are expected to put on a top when you're in the restaurant which is only right.

Just strikes me as total disrespect for other diners.

Anyone have any views?



Can we also add to this people shopping in the markets/supermarkets in just swimwear? yeugh!

Time and place for everything!

No snobbery as far as I can see, just common courtisey.

most people save all year to go on holiday, a lot of people in the UK are made to wear a uniform of some kind at work etc.

They should be able to dress as they wish, most places where we eat are in the open/outside so what is the problem??

I would say that some of you that want people to show courtesy by wearing a t-shirt etc. sit there and have a fag before, during and after your meal hence, stubbing it out in an ashtray that is on the same table where others eat!![:(!]

I always cover up as that is the forces way but if someone wants to eat next to me wearing a vest or with no top on at all, go for it. 8)

There are worse things to worry about, like Ginger people for example!  ;)
