Missed that.

No, I never said you said it is, either. My question was to all n' sundry tbh because general consensus seems to be going that way, that's all. You could have always said- "No, I don't support wimmins wearing bikini tops in food shops either. I'd rather them wear no tops at all".

I think inappropriate shirtlessness is a good gauge of an area, its either blokes who dont care or buff ones showing off, usually with some freshly done tattoos, or those scratty skinny ones you get outside manky pubs, all bluey white with veins having just had a hoody surgically removed.

Yeah we are all snobs. You don't see shirtless flabby bodies in Lymm or Knutsford. One good reason for me to move to somewhere like that.

So if someone is in good shape and well tanned, is it somehow okay? TBH living by the beach is shirt off city. The only thing that offends me is when someone is horrendously burnt.

It's better, but still inappropriate IMHO especially nowhere near a beach.

I don't make the rules.

Everywhere here is near the beach

A neighbour's sister in law complimented me the other day as I mowed the lawn shirtless. That doesn't happen often now I'm nearing 40...

Tesco in Wokingham seems fine as does Sainsburys in Winnersh.
Oi! Nowt wrong with Asda in Lower Earley I go there everytime I am back in the UK

I would not have said what you suggested above because I am a shy person and women in food shops without any tops would make me feel embarassed!

Maybe its just us being a bit repressed, as a rule , I just know to avoid pubs with shirtless people outside, definitely not ok when walking round a shop.

I work in Knutsford, I love it, my favourite of the Cheshire Posh towns, some ace pubs and restaurants round there, and Tatton park on the doorstep.

Yeah it's a nice part of the North West. The 'Tatton mile' is a favourite hoon spot for people who do that sort of thing.

Only bantering with you, Les. Easy. I know you won't want to see ladies topless. The ones that do are stuck in their oral stage (ref: Freud).

I think management just don't want the potential hassle that would come with asking people to put a top on.

You don't hear that at any other supermarket. Most normal people don't go out food shopping in pyjamas, it's the deals on certain kinds of foods, and convenience of location, that attracts the (dare I say it) 'lazier' consumer.
You've never been to either of Doncaster's two Asda stores then!!
