Restaurant dress code.

One rule for the men and another rule for the lassis.

Not really any point reading past that.

Full marks.

Maybe their just joshing with you.

What you bhuna do?

It’s a right pickle

I can see their point though. If your shorts are too short, you wouldn’t want a balti stick out.

you wouldn’t want a balti stick out.
You saying the OP’s sack is on the saag?

I’d just bhaji in and tikka seat. Can’t see your shorts if sat down

If they pop out just popadom back in

This thread is the gift that keeps on giving! 🤣

Yup it’s a dress code they have the right to refuse to serve as a restaurant.

Absolutely, but the Equality Act means having a dress code for one gender is potentially unlawful (that’s not the same as illegal!). However if their rules were “we expect you to be dressed like you are going out for dinner, not loafing on a beach” would be fine – and I’d have no issue with them refusing you entry in shorts (and ironically even allowing ladies in short skirts!)…

I wonder if it’s about having covid on your legs and transferring it to the seats.

Then why are they asking people to have their legs covid?

Men wearing shorts and even short sleeves / open necks (outside of sports) can be frowned upon in some Asian cultures. Not sure if it’s the case here but if the restaurant is Pakistani or Bangledishi owned that could be a factor. Even in any respectable European restaurant they wouldn’t want you in shorts. There’s usually no sign because it’s just a bit like knowing not to wear you pants on your head to dinner.

A more politically correct sign would be “No Scratters”.

I bet there’s nann chance

Doubt it given cloth doesn’t kill COVID.
