[MontyVeda]

sick in the chest hair... you're funny.

 

[BigonaBianchi]

Sounds like my.idea of holiday hell.

 

[Longshot]

OMG! I've stumbled into the set of "Downton Abbey" somehow!

 

[numbnuts]

I went to a nudist resort in Gran Canaria we had to dress for dinner

 

[Winnershsaint]

Hotel we've just returned from have a more formal dress code, but relax it during the hottest months of the year, so shorts of a more tailored variety are allowed along with collarless t-shirts and open toed footwear for men. I tend to agree with LarryDuff though.

Yes, it is not about eating it is about standards. Some people have them and some do not, the latter is growing rapidly.

Are standards of grammar included in that?

 

[Leaway2]

I do.

And me. I do wear shorts though, but they are "smart".

 

[Longshot]

...it is about standards. Some people have them and some do not, the latter is growing rapidly.

You're wrong. Most people have standards, they may however be different from yours.

Let's face it, you're just p***ed off that poor people can afford the same holiday as you.

I go on holiday to relax, which I usually pay quite a bit for the privilege. One of the things I like best is not having to wear socks or long trousers for a week or two. Certainly in an evening I will be wearing dress shorts and a shirt, I never wear football shirts etc not even round the pool or on the beach. I really hate the places that 'advise' me on what to wear.

All British people should get their luggage checked before being allowed to board any form of transport leaving for foreign parts in order to remove any football tops; they should then be burned (the tops not the people)

They should also be subject to a visual check before they are allowed on the plane. Maybe these criteria should apply and the following be barred from travelling.

1. Blokes with bellies that stick out further than their chests.
2. Women with bellies that stick out more than their chests. That's just wrong unless pregnant
3. Blokes with tattoos with the names of their kids, usually Keiron, Casey, Ryan and Tayler.
4. Keiron, Casey, Ryan and Tayler just for being Keiron, Casey, Ryan and Tayler .
5. Blokes with those 'wife beater' vests on. You know round necks and short sleeves. Tend to accentuate No1 making the wearer look like a walking square.
6. Women with a 'Croydon facelift' pony tail and those who refer to everyone including complete strangers as 'babe'. .
7. Tribes. You know the sort where the party involves the extended family or even a number of families, many of whom exhibit characteristics 1-7 and usually have someone called 'Nanna' with them who long since should have given up wearing a swimsuit.

Chucked out of school at 15 may explain my poor grammar, 40 years of employing people who went to school explains my bank account.

I tries me bestest.

 

[screenman]

Smart shorts no problem, clean shirts again no problem, sandals etc. the same no problem.

Football shorts only and sick in hair chest big problem.

Standards, so many different levels difficult to please everybody.

 

[MontyVeda]

I think the OP was on about collared shirts vs t-shirts, trousers vs shorts, shoes vs flip-flops and the like... not semi-dressed vs dressed.

 

[Winnershsaint]

Quite. There also ought to be some kind of intelligence criteria applied also. This was a conversation I had in Hurghada Airport with a woman who'd been in the seats opposite on the flight out and recognised us. She was certainly borderline No 6 and definitely part of a No 7.
Her... D'yave a good holiday?
Me.... Very good thanks. What about you?
Her... Yeah it was alright, y'know a few tummy upsets but you get that in Egypt don't you. What about you, d'you ave any problems like that?
Me.... Fortunately not, thanks.
Her... Nice hotel though.
Me.... We like it.
Her... Not much to do though, is there. We just spent most of the time with the kids round the pool.
Me.... Didn't try the beach then?
Her... Nah we heard it was full of Russians and nobody spoke English. Couldn't stand not aving no one around who could speak English. Plus there's all that sand, and you never know what's in the water, do you.
Me.... No, mind you we saw a massive sea turtle when we were out snorkeling.
Her... Where?
Me.... (trying not to laugh) In the sea on the reef off the beach.
Her... I didtn't (not a spelling error) though they had reefs here, what wiv coral and that. Like Finding Nemo? Weren't you scared? I could never do that, if I saw a fish in the sea I think I'd swim a mile..... If I could, that is. The kids did a bit of snorkeling in the pool.
Me.... Did they sea anything interesting?
Her... Nah, not really. Nice meeting you though.
What do you reckon, pass or fail the intelligence criteria?
