Am I alone thinking that in the evenings when frequenting a restaurant it's customary for males to wear something from the waist up, even if it's just a T-shirt. Right now, I am sitting in a restaurant, and there's a table of 4 - males in just swimming shorts and 2 ladies in bikinis.
Just strikes me as total disrespect for other diners.
Anyone have any views?
-
:)Totally agree, theres a time and place for everything, and dining is not appropriate in swimwear, its as bad as going to the shops in pyjamas, if not worse. ;) They wont allow it in Bella Mamas and I think they are right. ;)
-
I totally agree
-
absolutely agree......should at least be a tee shirt with short sleeves....anything less is just bad manners

i think at lunch-times the restaurants are easy going on what you wear but for evening i think there should be some sense of dress code
they must have been from bournemouth :)

:D Puma, I love it. :D :D :D.

or on a day visit from Altinkum :-)))

Totally agree, its enough to put you off your meatballs:D
Last thing we wish to see is a fat hairy belly hanging over a skimpy pair of speedos whilst trying to eat our meal.
And as for some of the women :-\ is the only suspension available the table[?]How do they manage to eat at arms length :o
-
I also agree; it is fine to be 'topless' on the beach but it is only common decorum to be fully dressed when in a restaurant. Shirts are for wearing, not fashion accessories.

:DAgree Smudge,Or sweaty arm pits even. I believe anything dangling should be cut off. ;) :o
-
Yuk..... Wish I never started this now :-)
-
I go everywhere in my Speedo's!:D:D

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.
-
Unless the restaurants bite the bullet and say NO! I don'think we will ever stop it. Once a slob always a slob:-\
-
Or, Once a snob always a snob!

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! ;)
-
I hate seeing the chavs walking round with their guts hanging out, there was a girl walking round about 9pm yesterday - huge ass and chest and tiny string bikini - yeuch. Just cover up!
-
Can't be any worse than the German fella we saw parading below us the other year, big fat belly, and all he had on was a thong, he looked idiotic, as well as disgusting. Alan
-
It's just decent manners to put a shirt on whilst eating in a restaurant.
-
They were definately Northerners, We in the South are far to cultured to go out in the evening without trousers and shirt as a minimum attire. ;)
Anyway, it seems nearly all are in agreement, what are we going to do about it?
Firstly do the bar owners get offended or is it just us?
if the bar owners do get offended or are worried about the main body of customers might get offended they need to put up signs stating there is a dress code for that particular bar in the evening.

I'll throw my two pennenth in here, part of our holiday is going out for a meal to a nice restaurant wearing decent clothes. I cant abide people who dont make the effort and make no apologies for it. We both look like Wayne and Waynetta Slob during the day but it's great to make the effort in the evening. Anyone who knows us would be shocked if we did anything else :)

Just to say we in Scotland prefer to wear our clothes in restuarants--only time we get to wear our clothes out without a raincoat

I think on the beach it is acceptable to do your own thing. However in restuarants in a country where modesty is part of the culture it is not acceptable to be sitting around in restuarants in swimsuits.
-
:)Exactly Heather, and as I said earlier, Bella Mamas wont put up with it, and others should follow suit, ;)
-
Yeah even if I go round to the shop during the day or for lunch I put a skirt and vest on I wouldn't just go in a bikini.

I remember watching Turkish men at the cafe on Olu Denis beach when topless ladiees came up to get served. That would scare anyone into covering up. :-\ :-\ :-\
-
I would definatley wear a vest when walking around,its horrible the way some of the turkish men look at you! I remember telling a 14 year old to put a vest on over the top of her bikini because they same staring at her(she was only 14)how sick!!
And also i dont like looking a hairy chests and over weight bodies when im out eating,by the pool and on the beach is fine!!
-
No Turkish men look at me when I'm topless [:o]
There is infinite choice in Calis - I personally don't like to see beer bellies as I eat, but it is the choice of the belly beholder (as said, on their hard earned hols) to do so where they are allowed to, and the establishment to decide their own dress code.
If restaurants don't mind, and you do, go to one of the others!

Doesn't that happen in the UK then[?]
-
It happens everywhere! Men are men!(or rather, some men)

It is definitely not a Turkish thing.
When fit women in bikinis walk past our office, I don't look away, and I was born in Luton lol

I agree it is a man thing. Us ladies would never get caught looking at fit young men ;): :) ;)That is why sunglasses were invented:D
My point is having some respect for the culture of the people whose country you are visiting.

;) Quite right Heather, I have Jackie O style shades :D ;)

:DI just have a good old fashioned blimp. ;)with some discretion of course.:P

I totally agree that it is only courteous to other diners to cover up in the evenings. I for one would be put off with some fat guy with a beer belly hanging over the table next to me. However should Brad Pitt wish to arrive and strip off I am not sure I would object too much, likewise I am sure the men would not object to Kylie sitting there in her bikini! Joking aside I feel the restaurants could be more strict with dress code however they are just trying to make some money and a customer is a customer.
-
I do agree that people should be dressed when dining in a restaurant.I have never been partially dressed when dining.I may have sat in the sunshine whilst having an Efes or 3 at a bar and I can be guilty of going into a small shop with no T shirt on :-\When I say partially dressed,I don't go for the full monty:D

In that case there's a lot to be said for Bella Mamas decison for people to cover up .
