Whe I am paying a not inconsiderable entrance fee, I think that I have the right to choose what I wear, especially in temperatures like to exceed 40C

I don't think either of us have that right. Just like this site, it is not yours: you are a visitor, and do so under the rules they set. If we don't like the rules, we don't have 'a right' to go at all, any more than I have a right to wonder round your home.

When we go on cruises, we tend to pick lines with 'formal nights' where people are expected to dress up. Lot's of cruises don't have them, so it is easy to avoid them if you don't like them.

Every so often someone starts yelling at the door that they have paid a lot of money for this holiday and will wear what they like. Not a moments thought for everyone else who has also paid a lot for the holiday expecting a formal night.


It's all about consideration and sensitivity, not 'my rights'
