    Why is it that every time we seem to have some decent weather the most disgusting men on the planet can't wait to get their tops off and expose their beer bellies and chavvy tattoos..

    In my area, that applies to the women too. And why do they have the ruddy tattoos on their backs so they never see them but if you are behind them on the street you can't avoid them?

    I saw a guy in the hot weather with his shirt off and a massive tattoo right across his back...ROONEY in huge letters across his shoulders and the Everton badge beneath it...!!

    Hate it! Round here it's scrawny bony men in tracksuit bottoms and baseball caps. I totally don't understand the boxer shorts thing, if I walked down town in my bra and knickers I'd get arrested and they'd probably take me in for a psych evaluation, but we have seen men in their undies walking about.
    Why is it that scrotey lads in trakkie bottoms always have their hands down their front playing with their balls? Is it some kind of inner city mating ritual to indicate to the local bikes that they are ready to breed?
    Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..

    Give them a break, if they want to expose their flesh, look away. What harm does it do you? So many judgmental people in this world to be worried about a bit of flesh.

    I concur. If they've got the self-confidence to flaunt their bare flesh then good luck to them. I'd rather see that than folk sweltering under layers of clothing because they're too scared to show their bodies. Honestly, some people's irrational hatred of anybody that dares to be overweight is ridiculous.

    At times like this there should be public service announcements reminding people to dress for the body they have, not the body they wish they had.

    ...

    Haha I agree - I work in a busy town centre and the sights we see when the sun comes out give us all a good laugh . What kind of mirror do these people look in on a morning !!

    I have no idea what you mean by that. :undecided
  • I can't stand seeing people wandering around town with no tops on but it's not as bad as the man I saw the other day wandering around the Co-Op with no shoes or socks on.

    Us Brits really don't do hot weather fashion that well, do we? It's ok for the lovely, leggy young girls to prance around in their tiny tops and skimpy shorts but us oldies need to keep the flesh covered a little more.

    Maxi dresses are nice, but leggings and boob tubes on those over a certain age....no no no!

    And as for the sweaty men who come into the shops topless...bleugh. A shop in Newquay (Tesco, I think) has had to display a sign asking customers who have popped in from the beach, to cover up when they are in the store. Quite right too, who wants to see someone dripping sweat all over the fruit and veg? _pale_
