My Mess is strict by RAF standards at the moment... minimum of slacks or trousers, smart shoes, and an open-neck collar-attached shirt or polo shirt during the week for men, and the equivalent for ladies. Jumpers may be worn with shirts. And people WILL be bollocked for ignoring the rules. At weekends it relaxes to smart jeans, but trainers are still a no-no, as are t-shirts. Oh, and in the summer, tailored shorts may be worn throughout the week. With shoes and socks.
I don't think so!
I do get annoyed by inconsiderate people who decide that the rules don't apply to them. Yes, I live here, but I don't have to use the bar or dining room; therefore, if there is a dress code to be followed, I'll follow it. As for people answering mobile phones in the bar...
