The editor of Tatler magazine gave readers of last Saturday’s Times ca800 words of advice on the new rules of going topless – disappointingly, addressed to women readers only, so no rules for men in supermarkets.
But then the rules are clearly not addressed to the likes of us, rather to those whose holidays in the sun may be spent in a private house somewhere in southern Europe, or on a private yacht.
My favourite reads:
Always defer to your hostess/most senior member of the party. Tops off is a bit like Tuck In, you need to be given the green light.
It’s a good job that Kate Reardon is not a member of the current government or there would be another outbreak of derisory comments about Toffeedom.
Tuck In???? Is that what you do when going to bed, or after you have been given permission to start eating your dinner (sorry, supper)
