Yeah, that Tony.  Such a classy guy. He would have fit right in on an SS cruise, being such a stickler for proper attire.

I tell you what: he wouldn't stand for people reserving a lounger with a book and sunglasses.

We had a few of those…. Over 2 1/2 hours all these were unused. The whole row and all with different couples. Had I have known, I’d have put an upside down pineapple on them all.

We'll....you know my feelings on these people. It would be a shame if someone spilled something sticky on their belongings. Accidentally, of course.

You should thank them; they are keeping you from getting skin cancer.

 

Take it from a Floridian; the sun is not your friend.

Tony knew how to dress.  He'd be welcome at my table any time.

Les is a Brit. You'll need to explain what "sun" is.

I’d have been super helpful after an hour and gathered up their possessions and hand them in to lost property at Reception. Then sit in the shade awaiting their return 🙂

Some of us wear caps because we don't want to overcharge the smooth solar panel at the top of our skull.

And some of us wear them (outdoors) because we got tired of the liquid nitrogen treatments and the lectures by our dermatologists.

So what's the head covering du jour in the UK these days?  Haven't been there since 2018.

[lincslady]

A gent's hankie with a knot tied  in each corner - preferably clean.

Sounds like not much has changed since I was there in 2018!

Speaking of which...

Stayed in the Aldgate area and had a couple of good meals at a Halal restaurant serving Indian cuisine on St. Mark St.

What's the deal with that?  It's a very English thing, I am thinking.  

 

When I was on the QM2 crossing the Atlantic, one of the guys in our group, a very proper Englishman, would wrap this handkerchief thing around his head when he was sitting outside on deck.  The rest of us, all Americans, thought it was rather humorous.

 

Is this customary in England? 

[lincslady]

Not nowadays, it is just a joke.  It was often seen on chaps in deckchairs on the beach at Blackpool (a cheap holiday resort) in probably the 1920s and 30s, along with braces (suspenders).  In other words - how can I put this - something which only applied to the 'working class'. I can't imagine it on the QM2,  I must say.

Might be more fun to bring a very inappropriately titled book with you and leave it prominently on top of theirs. 😁

No,actually on the top of the head and knots tied on all four corners.

It was done to protect the head from sunburn.

I’d have thought On Ilkley Moor baht at might be more appropriate.
