Dress Etiquette on Holiday.... (46)
Excuse me...I don't have Michelin rings, I have John Deere tubes!!....
Tulefel: I’ve voted: Only on the beachI’ve noticed that holiday-makers while abroad allow themselves what they wouldn’t allow either themselves or anyone else while at home in London or Moskva. Not to mention some small town or village.
The fact that you bought a flight ticket and paid a hotel room doesn’t give you any special rights. You haven’t paid me for the questionable pleasure of observing your “Michelin rings”. So please, put your shirt on!

Lagoona22: Swan song
Meaning
A final gesture or performance, given before dying.
Origin
This term derived from the supposed behaviour of swans of singing beautifully and mournfully just before they die. This legend was well-known to be false as early as the days of ancient Greece, when Pliny the Elder refuted it in Natural History, AD 77:
"Observation shows that the story that the dying swan sings is false."
The imagery proved to be more attractive that scientific observation and many poets and playwrights have made use of it. Chaucer included this in a poem - "The Ialous swan, ayens his deth that singeth". Shakespeare used the tale in The Merchant of Venice, 1596:
Portia:
Let music sound while he doth make his choice;
Then, if he lose, he makes a swan-like end,
Fading in music.
Thomas Carlyle referred to the actual term 'swan song' in Sartor resartus, 1831:
"The Phoenix soars aloft,... or, as now, she sinks, and with spheral *swan-song immolates herself in flame."

Just goes to show how little Shakespeare really knew, the swans in Stratford are mute and unable to make any sounds as are the rest of the majority of swans in the UK
Hi Smoky. Completely agree. When I lived in Bahrain, I saw tourists who would wander around in their own country dressed as such. Women who feel 'why should I be told how to dress' used to make me smile, because I would think, you wait madam, until you are wandering around the souk. But still, they continued.
As a foreign national, I was advised on the customs, I studied before I moved there and what not to wear. For instance when shopping, I would dress conservatively, cooly because of the heat and of course the shopping malls are air conditioned and many people gather there to have lunch and coffee because it is cooler. We had a club, called the British Club and we could dress as we liked there, even though it was open to natives, but we could be in our bikinis and sleeveless if we so wished and there was never any problem, not far to go in Bahrain, if you commit a crime, small island and all that.

I agree with you m8, nothing worse than wrinklys with all hanging out, cover eem up, at least when they are sprawled out on the rocks, gravity takes over and does'nt look half as bad !!!Lagoona22: Ok, here's my question: is it okay for holiday makers to strip off to the waist and walk around half-naked on holiday....I see these people all day long here....white skin, fresh off the plane, the first thing they do is strip down to their shorts, let their huge beer bellies hang out, and go strutting around the place as if it were an extension of their livingrooms back home....and it's not only the men, the wimmin do it too....seriously overweight, truly unattractive people just letting it all hang out while the locals wouldn't be seen dead without their shirts on....What's your opinion?...I'm really interested...in fact I will be sitting here in my soggy underwear sweating and waiting for your answers....
It should be no problem when they are on the beach. Some people, men or women, put on as little as possible to get a suntan. Other than that, I think they should put a shirt on or something else to cover themselves properly when they go off somewhere else.
I always think that the way you dress shows how much respect you have for yourself as well as for other people ... no matter where you are.
