Elaine Carmody tells it like it is...
"I think it's stupid really not being allowed in the supermarket with pyjamas on. It's not as if they're going to fall down or anything like that."
As Churchill once said, it makes you proud to be British.

If she went to Lidl or Iceland I'm sure that she would be allowed. [/snobbery]
There is a sign in Tesco outside Ryde on the Isle of Wight. Although that point isn't close to the sea, they ask people not to come in without a T-shirt, suggesting people were wandering about in swimming trunks and bikinis.
Anyhoo, Elain Carmody should just do what I do - sleep in your clothes.
Personally I'm fine with this. Britain is a country that should be ok with eccentricity that harms no-one.
It's a slippery slope; next thing you know they'll be seriously suggesting that burqas should be banned. Or hoodies. Or tattoos. Or piercings.
Mind you, anyone with tattoos or piercings is psychologically flawed and in need of treatment anyway. Maybe not a bad idea to prevent self-harming.
:-))))
It's a terrible admission but I'd be sooooo tempted to sneak up behind her and give a good downward yank on the bottom half. Well, be honest, wouldn't you?
R, you made a basic html error there, you forgot to open the [snobbery] tag.
WOAR, doesn't that make them smelly? Which has always puzzled me - if you sleep in pyjamas they don't go smelly. Another one of those mysteries of life, I suppose.
AC1, exactly. As a bit of a prude, I'm even nervous about to the shops in flip-flops without socks when it's really hot. I have utmost admiration for people who go into the street in pyjamas or a dressing gown.
FT, burkhas is different, that's like wearing a swastika armband.
L, no, live and let live. Plus you'd get done for sexual harrassment or something.
I am sorry I stole your link to that story, but I almost fell of my chair when I read it. Good old Churchill.
I don't think Sexual Harrasment would be the problem she'd most likely laugh and try for your trousers Lola.
She's 24, full time mum and was wearing PJs... she adds "But we only wanted fags and they still refused us to go in for a pack of cigarettes,"
Where were the kids? I assume this was night time and not 3 in the afternoon? And the 'we/us'?
Last line is a classic: "So they're going to lose their custom, with people going to other shops to buy stuff and they're allowed in with their pyjamas on."
Slumberland perhaps?
If I were Tesco's I'd take down that sign. Its not necessary, they could just have a polite word with people instead.
FT, burkhas is different
Hmm. Maybe. But I was just enjoying some light amusement.
that's like wearing a swastika armband.
Ouch! No, I'm not sure that's true, at all. I'm no fan of, or apologist for, some of the strange customs of our Muslim fellow-residents but I'm not sure I can see that one.
FT, I personally think it is true. Islamists are quite explicit in wanting to either convert, enslave or kill all non-Muslims.
Mark, all the religious extremists are abhorrent, the Christian ones are no better, they just have a different dress code. The burkha does have the advantage that you can shop in Tesco's without having to take your pyjamas off.
I would just like to know how wearing pyjamas to Tesco reflects Elaines mothering skills? And what makes you have the right to judge and vilify her?
Anon, on the basis of the scanty facts provided, I think she is brilliant. Can you point to anything in my post that is in the slightest bit negative?
