devastating news and clearly an outright attack on civil liberties as newquay bans mankinis. http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2012/sep/28/mankini-ban-newquay-crime-stag-parties ;D ;D
"Some visitors to Newquay, including children as young as 15, have been sent home as a result of anti-social behaviour, while older fun-seekers have had skimpy costumes seized by police – including mankinis, a thong-like male bathing costume popularised by comedian Sacha Baron Cohen's spoof documentary character Borat." Right, so police are seizing costumes - leaving people naked???
"They are just revolting, there is nothing pleasant about seeing anybody in a mankini. We have had a real crackdown on the fake penises. And people are getting that message. You look at the images you see of Newquay now, 2009 is three years ago and we are in a very different place." Were the fake penises in the mankinis? Typical though that all the stuff being moaned about is found for sale in the towns tat shops Newquay is ruined though, last time I went it was just stag dos.
i haven't been to newquay since late 80's early 90's. tbh i hadn't realised it had changed as i only ever visited when staying at a quieter smaller place. i agree with aussie bay and tw, when places/ shows start to chase the money they lose their original ethos and the people will follow.
I didnt realise there was a law which states what items of clothing may be worn in public Are women allowed to walk round newquay in bikinis?
i think its probably down to the fact that mankinis arent very accommodating, and the sight of 10 smashed lads with their hairy nads hanging out either side isnt always ideal i for one love the mankini
