Title: Not any restaurant in particular
Post by: Toky on May 29, 2013, 11:50:56 AM
But every day, beer bellied, heavily tattooed, overweight British guys have the nerve to present themselves for food and drink wearing no more than a pair of shorts. It's repulsive, downright bad mannered and disrespectful to think that's ok! If you don't do it in your own town, don't do it in someone else's. puts me right off my good and drink. :(

Trouble is Toky, they do do it in their home towns. Have you seen them at football matches? (and that's the women)!!!

Letoon used to have an unwritten rule that you should always wear a top in the restaurant/bar area.

Toky I think you should be more concerned if they 'presented' themselves without the shorts, as opposed to wearing them  ;)

Oh I do so agree, and when they are in the market and you end up smeared with their sweat as they go by, and don't get me started on going into Migros etc with no top on. yuk yuk.

Bloody tourists can't leave with them can't live without them ;D ;D If only the restaurants were brave enough to insist on appropriate attire.

Iam a large tatooed British male who likes a beer or ten and I eat out every night when we are in Calis/Fethiye and most days.I wear shorts often but do not take off my top on the prom,in the main streets etc and would never dream of doing it in a bar or restaurant because despite appearances Iam a gentleman and have some manners.Likewise there are certain locations that I tell Mrs A to cover chest,shoulders etc and she would never dream of getting on dolmus or sitting in a bar/restaurant in her bikini top

There are a few restaurants that won't allow you in without a top on, but then there are places that literally encourage 'sun bathing' on the premises. I tire of people coming off the beach in bikini's, trunks or whatever, and then continue to walk down the main road or even Fethiye town centre in a bikini top and shorts! The problem is, a lot of people don't care about the country they are in (they are on holiday!) and cannot relate to it being a Muslim country, it is very offensive to many Muslim men and women.

Agree Toky, in Calis market last Sunday couple in swimwear and I noted a few Turkish women looking at them. Then in Fethiye this week guy walking around in just swimming trunks  A couple of years ago we did see a waiter in Calis asking a man to go and put on a shirt. This was at about 8.00pm. 
Even in the hotest weather we Brits do not walk around towns in swimwear, so why do it abroad?

It seems we Brits are the first to demand "respect" from those living in our country to respect our way of life, values etc and yet are unable to offer the same respect when in someone else's country....

I take your point but not all Brits are the same! It's mostly the chav element who walk about bare chested. We see them in the UK as well. As soon as the sun comes out their tops come off so that they can display their wonderful boddies through the centre of town.

Most of them have no self respect so what's the chance of them respecting others?

Well we saw a topless chap strolling along the street today, it's so disrespectful. I must say though, that a few years ago a German woman was having lunch in a restaurant in the Canaries and I swear she was naked! It's just that her flesh 'layers' had spread over the bikini bottom and God knows where the bikini top was, we could only see the straps! Put me off my lunch!

Erg!! thanks for that  Lotty, I'm glad I've eaten. The funny thing is you look round you and see people wearing the most ridiculous inappropriate clothes, and you just know they wouldn't walk down their own High Street in that get up, so why bother. I do think it's more prevalent in Hisaronu, which makes for great people watching, but please.... don't!

Saw a British guy in Paspatur today. Grey hair in his fifties good tan.  Was wearing swimming trunks flip flops and a strap at the top of his arm which held his phone.   No idea where he was keeping his wallet? But think he had decided to walk around and do a bit of posing.  However maybe he was looking for the beach?

No Bluewise, that's not him. He had a good body, he looked a little like a young version of Ted Danson.

 'LADY' was strolling along the prommenade yesterday, in a very very brief bikini, thong bottom, high heels and stopped to bend over right in front of our restaurant.  All the waiters were all roaring out of the restaurants to look - not a pretty sight, considering she was not exactly slim.  Not really the kind of thing you should be doing in any country especially not a muslim country.

What annoys me about people wearing very little clothing while walking around town, is young women who wear bikini tops and shorts/flimsy sarong and complain about being eyed up by men, whether Turkish or another male tourist!

Even if I'm just popping round the corner for a ice cream during a day at the pool I throw on a dress at least. I think some people just apply their own rules of dress code when on holiday...
