Young girls wearing next to nothing on the beach

More surprising that supermarkets let them in
On the beach what ever floats your boat my DH usually enjoys the view
Not for me never was more likely to be found in a Speedo
But no I dont find it in the least uncomfortable

I wouldn't find it uncomfortable either but I might hope they are using plenty of sun screen.

Beach OK, so long as they are being cautious and using sun screen. Definitely not appropriate for supermarkets.

Ahh come on you re sounding a bit old and grumpy soropt
I m surprised they get into a supermarket but whatever floats your boat on the beach fine by me

I think it's fine on the beach but people need to put some clothing on before going into shops and most seaside resorts do have signs on the door regarding appropriate clothing/no bare chests

Brrr. I prefer this on the beach

Grammaretto, I agree, but that is because we have experienced Scottish Summers!

I can understand young girls with nice bodies want to show them off on the beach but it's not hard to slip on a beach dress over a bikini for anywhere else.

Sarongs!

We live in a seaside town and our Tesco bans swimwear of any kind and bare chested males. It's a constant problem as the store is a 5min walk from the beach across a play area and has the only public toilet.
I agree with Tesco policy. What they wear on the beach is up to them.

A man in a well known clothes shop took his top off in front of me the other day. It wasnt pleasant.

I am cutting people some slack though I think we have all forgotten how to function in public

i don't think it is hygienic to go into a shop, esp a food shop without being adequately covered, and i wouldn't want to shop there. so for their own business success, shops should stop it.
as for the beach, well that's up to them i guess.

This wasn’t on the beach, it was on the pavement outside and congregating outside the shop.

There is an elderly man in my village - 60ish - who as soon as the sun is out goes everywhere shirtless. He walks past our house on the way to the shop with his enormous flabby belly on full view. Now, if he was a little more streamlined and bronzed, that would be a different story, wouldn’t it?

So at least they're wearing something. I remember St Tropez, in the 60's and 70's with carefully designed topless swimsuit which did not create marks anywhere.

'Elderly' man in his 60's - I must be ancient! 60 is the new 40.

yes, i wonder how old is the writer if he/she thinks 60 is elderly !

I agree Soroptimum- OK on the beach, not OK in town or supermarket. My age has nothing to do with it.

Did they were those in town and supermarket in St Tropez? Don't think so.

I must admit we went for an Indian meal last night at a very modern open restaurant surrounded by glass. I was sitting there and about twelve young girls were just sat on pavements eating takeout food. I said to my DH blimey their shorts are like G-strings. I recalled when I made a pair of brown bib and brace then called ‘hot pants’ in 1970. They were very modest and covered me up!
Every person in the restaurant was looking at the girls their shorts right up their backsides letting everything hang out.

Yes, they did, it was fashionable and no-one really took any notice. I think 'going topless' in France is still the norm.

If I looked like them I’d wear a tiny bikini everywhere too! Not the supermarket tho ; the supermarket we shop at in Grenada has the sign’ No half naked persons; or bears feet’ !!??

I don't care what they wear on the beach.

Hate swimwear and men with no shirt everywhere public (other than the beach). It's horrible, even the beautiful bodied people. Just wrong.

Did you visit Studland beach? No budgie smugglers there! ?
