And so they are my dear!!!     But you don´t catch many Englishmen wearing them these days -maybe only the upper classes off ´hunting, shooting and fishing!´

There is a bit of follow up into Alanya and their ´bikini problem´

Some citizens asked the question to Mufti of Alanya  ´if  looking at a bikini wearing woman breaks the fasting´.

His answer was "No. But ´the deed coming from fasting´ will be less than normal"

He ´visely´ gave some examples and what todos:

´For example, you came across a naked person-I guess he means a woman with bikini- and you looked at her. First look is not sinful. You have to turn your eyes straight  away. But after that if you are still looking, then the action will be considered as sinful´

and I pay tax for this stuff!

... on the other hand, I know what you mean...

Finally they are doing something to save the public from this pheneomina

I wonder if the see-through white pants that seem to be so popular by certain tourists will be included as well. Vacationing is no excuse to look tasteless and tacky.

 Men´s underwear I call ´underpants´, ´boxers´ or ´Y fronts´  depending on the style. Ladies underwear I call ´knickers´ , ´Knicks´ or ´panties´ or there´s also ´thong´ and ´G string´.

I would use the term pants for trousers.

Of course ´pants´ has got an increasingly popular meaning.  For instance, if I didn´t agree witha politicians policies I would say their policies were ´pants´.  It can be used instead of ´useless´, ´garbage´, rubbish, c**p etc. 

 Do you have a word for ´lip-reading´ trousers as well? (We have....   )

?

 Really? Think..... when can you read ´lips´ in trousers?

 Is this why you wear dark glasses?

That won´t fool anyone.

Thanks for your help with my problem yesterday btw.

 I´ve never heard of it before .
