Re: Distasteful shirtless men (PM Mailbag Friday, 30 October 2015) – What absolute pomposity … or is there some tongue in cheek here? How does this perfect gentleman know the circumstances of the occasion? Next thing for him is the policing of beaches for non offensive beachwear eg. neck to toe attire as in the good old days as in 1880 AD. Has he conveniently overlooked some young Thai men, shirtless, strutting their abs? If there is no law against it, then consider this – white skinned Englishmen go to hot places to take in the sun, and get tanned up sometimes. Grinches should stay home in their own comfortable fog and cold surroundings and complain about their overwrapped countrymen and women.
