Default Swimwear - can anyone enlighten me as to why......

Swimming shorts have been banned at holiday parks around the pool in France and Spain - traditional speedo style have to be worn?

Surely speedos are worse on the eye, think of the overhang on the more portly of gentlemen

Is in the brochures apparently - I thought my colleague was on a wind up when she told me, god knows the reasoning behind it

This has always been the case in France especially, although I was under the impresison that they were getting more relaxed these days, not more strict?

Default shorts

WTF I wear what I want when I want, and if you don't like it I'll take my money and spend it somewhere else,

I never would go to france anyway its full of snail eating garlic breathed tossers

As for spain what is this a wind up?

It's not a country wide thing

Some hotels and resorts have that rule. Just like a restaurant may have a dress code and as said it's to keep away the 'yob' types AFAIK.

I'm a fat cunt so there is no way I'm putting on a pair of speedos. I'd look fooking ridiculous

That's exactly it and as someone else said, has been going on for over 10 years. Theory is groups of "yobs" won't bother going as they only have shorts or will only wear shorts. Is a clever tactic and fine IMO for family based areas.
