Why anyone want to leave their home unwashed and undressed when they have access to clean, hot water is beyond me!

Next they will have signs saying 'please dont shit on the floor as it may cause offence!'

So to prove that Tesco are wrong with what they did, you went and did the exact same thing? Well done.
Oh for heaven's sake! I could have rattled off umpteen other types of workers or situations where people would be dirty going into Tesco but just because I picked one linked to your profession you get the hump.

The thread was quite simple in that it was discussing Tesco contradicting their own ruling over what's not allowed to be worn in their shop and the reason why not. Some have been saying that pyjamas are unhygenic and I merely played devil's advocate and pointed out where there could be other hygiene issues.

Instead of agreeing that there could possibly be an unhygenic fish worker, baby or solicitor in Tesco you take great umbrage at that! :yawn:

I agree but I live in an area where some of the mums waddle up the streets in the PJs and their fake uggs in the middle of the day and believe me, in a tail wind, you can tell they havent washed.

Its depressing and is symptomatic of a crumbling sense of selfworth.

I dont believe tesco have a right to dictate what people wear outside of what is legal - but they shouldnt have to tell customers to put some clothes on before going out for the day.

There is one thin nipping about at the crack of dawn for a pint of milk still in your pjs but by lunchtime?

We may live in a nanny state but its some damn good parenting that these adults lack.

Freedom is vital but freedom with responibilty, dignity and self respect is everything.

I agree with everything you say

But i do think TESCO's should have a policy on who they let in their shop for hygiene reasons and not just banning people for wearing PJs

I have seen a tramp shopping in supermarkets in the past who half pen and inked

TESCO shouldn't use the PJs thing as a reason to ban someone from shopping because where do they draw the line sweaty workwear etc

There is a woman who lives by me who is well to do nice family and i have seen her in her PJs out shopping for some bits and bobs with her coat on over the top of them at 10 in the morning because her husband has taken their kids to football and she is having a lazy day and we have a laugh about it

I just think there are to many poeple in this world that judge other people on what they wear and what they look like and how they speak.

I was always bought up just like many to take people at face value and to respect others not just by the way they look.

Yes, by banning people in their PJs Tesco will have to give a legitimate reason for doing so that is justifiable within the context of the law or else they are discrimnating - it could be argued that some nationalites customary dress could be interpreted as PJs pajamas after all come from indian culture and originally were not meant strictly for bed.

If its for hygene reasons are they going to have offical sniffers on the door to decide who is clean enough for entry?

I dont like seeing people shopping in their pyjamas or men walking around the shops without a shirt on or walking behind a smoker and getting a lungfull of second hand smoke.....but we cant just tell people they cant do things because it offensive other wise there wouldnt be any culture left , good or bad - everything is offensive to someone.

The fact is that 50 years most women wouldnt have gone out without a bit of lippy and a hat or headscarf let alone slouching down the road in a set of nightclothes.

The times they are a changing and we have to assertain what is important and what is not....

Maybe its live and let live - or stink and let stink in this respect.

Well it's nonsense. Every so often I go into hospital for Ketamine infusions for my condition. I go in at 6am & get home from anywhere between 10pm-2am, sometimes we pop into our local 24hour Tesco to grab something to eat (I'm always starving) & everyone knows me there & why we come in at that time of night & why I'm in my jim jams. (I was there last night) I had no problems whatsoever...

Why hasnt this been merged with the other thread

I was just thinking how Iceland could use this bit of publicty to their own advantage.

'Thats why mums go to Iceland" and have a load of Kerry Katona clones dragging their Uggs shod feet around the store wearing faded pink PJs with baggy knees
