Anyone know which lounge this is?
Rebekkap, I suppose I don't think that I am bigotted against 'fat' people because I have plenty of fat friends whom I love dearly
OK then, I will admit to being bigotted against people who don't exercise any self restraint or will-power.

I will admit to having an excess of adipose tissue and that is because I love to eat and drink.Purplegez I am not offended by your remarks.Personally i am offended by people who think i should be offended.I can stand up for myself thank you.Rebekkap, I suppose I don't think that I am bigotted against 'fat' people because I have plenty of fat friends whom I love dearly

Yes, but as you can't tell why a fat person is fat by looking at them, generalisations about fat people are just as bigoted as generalisations about blacks, Jews, women, etc etc etc.
In old photos, even tramps and bums wore suit jackets (or even suits).In 20-30 years time I suspect today's youth will be saying the same about tomorrow's youth. My father still wears a tied to go to the pub! (He is 84) He is constantly mortified by my failure to wear a tie for work.
Don't disagree with your view though JohnK. I am getting more conservative as I get older.
....on the subject of fashion what happened to hats? Just look at any footage of sporting events of the 50's. The men in the crowd all wore hats! Why did we stop wearing hats? Sorry gone way off topic!
What was the attire?Yup @ the QF F lounge Syd
I tried to argue this point at the Conrad Jupiters lounge (back when the Jupiters was a Conrad). The sign said "No robber thongs." So I sauntered in wearing my Sanuk tatami mat thongs, and the lounge dragon refused to let me in. I pointed out that the sign clearly said "rubber" and there was no rubber at all in mine, and that mine were designer. She relented, but just the one time.Designer thongs are still thongs, hiding under a pretentious logo
I doubt it's MEL, SYD or BNE (QP or JL).Anyone know which lounge this is?

It may be CBR.
It's not about hard, it's about comfort. As to the backpacker, you're confusing appearance with hygiene. I've been around people in nice clothes who stank; one can be very clean and still wear thongs and t-shirts.+ 1 here too. It really isn't that hard.
Sitting behind an otherwise very pleasant backpacker CBR/MEL last week in the t shirt and thongs ensemble; had his arms raised for msot of the flight. Oh for the oxygen mask to be deployed! it was a warm day - but, really!
Since this thread has over 300 posts, many of which are repetitive, Quantitative is the word I would use.
Now, if one were to distil the thread, applying thorough analysis to the posts and summarising accurately, then you may get a Qualitative analysis.
Of course such summary must be performed without bias, prejudgement or anything else that could influence the results otherwise the word used to describe it would not be Qualitative; effluent might be better applied in such a case.
No one can explain why some clothing is more comfortable since this is a matter of personal preference. As you say above, you prefer slacks and long-sleeved shirts; excellent, by all means wear them. Others prefer shorts and T-shirts, and they should wear them.And can someone please explain to me how any of these types of attire are more comfortable than smart casual attire? {snip} I prefer long sleeve casual/business shirt, but that's me {snip} I prefer slacks.
- any open style footwear. Leather slip-on shoes and runners are just as comfortable and much safer {snip}
When having long(ish) time in the lounge /airport it is a pleasure to sit and people watch people with smart casual attire. Even better when some of the attire actually looks classy rather than what some people believe is 'trendy'.
Am off to DFO to stock up on Grandad suits so I can create a "Travelling Clothes Cupboard"
I am happy to stand corrected, but by the look of the floor and those computer workstations it looks like the back of DRW........
Figure I may as well post to this thread now.
Spotted in MEL JL on Monday evening, teenager in boardies and ratty shirt… and no shoes (not even socks). Walking from the windows to the computers to talk to his mother and back again. When he left he was back in his trainers.
I don’t actually mind that much, but knew you all would
