You don't get into most 'club's wearing hoodies, beanies and the like - they ask you to either remove the beanie or take a walk . Same with shorts - I always wear shorts, don't like long pants - too uncomfortable around the knees . On the odd occasion when I do go to town, I have been told that I'm not allowed into 'x' because I'm wearing shorts . Who cares? Don't like the dress code rules? Don't go there . Wonder what would happen if some religious group had something against wearing headgear of any form had some facility where it was banned and a turban wearing individual tried getting in, then wanted rules changed because wearing his turban was of religious importance . . . . oh the folly of stupid 'rules' .

I recall it use to be ties in many corporate avenues, but generally I think have been relaxed. So now i guess it's hats or head wear, or hair style...	kahawai chaser (3545)

So if a Sikh wants a beer in the Cosssie club he should remove his turban. In the old days if you walked into some bars ie forgot as you walked in the door it was shout the bar or **** off same in mil bars I think ask Rob.	prefect (6291)
1110075	2010-06-14 03:05:00	Well some clubs are perhaps too private and will never accommodate a representative selection of society's members with their dress code. If so, then why attempt or try to cater to the public?	kahawai chaser (3545)
1110076	2010-06-14 03:16:00	Exactly. Its retarded these days - when one of these 'minority' groups are barred entrance from something they think its an attack on their civil rights and bla bla bla - conveniently forgetting that if any of us turned up wearing a hat we would also be asked to remove it or take a walk...

If so, then why attempt or try to cater to the public? So is the Cosmopolitan Club due for a name change to Noncomprehensive Club or maybe the Parochial Club.	PaulD (232)
1110079	2010-06-14 07:44:00	Yet another reason why religion pisses me off Uhm. I think wearing a turban is part of their culture rather than religion. Don't quote me on this though.	Renmoo (66)

It is a little hard to say whose rights are paramount. (Yeah, right.) Does he expect to keep his head-warmer on if he nips into a Catholic Church for a bit of wine and crackers? Can I wear my foil hat (with horns) in his temple? (I automatically try to adopt the least PC attitude, purely because of some members of the rabid PC brigade I have encountered.)	R2x1 (4628)

There were hundreds of people lined up, so I thought there must be something worth seeing, and I joined them But when I got to the front, they turned me away just because I was wearing shorts. Never did see what was inside..........	TideMan (4279)
