    If the travelers insists in having different behaviors, they will attract attention and an easy target for the critics.
    They could have the wright to wear pajamas (or a bunny tail or whatever they like) but in a democracy we have the wright to criticize.

    What I disagree here is the picture in the social media, and for the travellers a low tolerance towards to critics.
    I've gone shopping in supermarkets, drinking in bars and clubbing in my PJs.

    OK they were pyjama parties and I was a student so I actually dressed up in a clean pair.

    That's Alderley and the rest of the Cheshire set for you. He was most livid that his man was not on hand to take the photo for him of course.

    It makes sense and the argument has some merit.

    I’m disgusted that a man has taken our picture and put it online asking for Tesco to ban people wearing their pyjamas.

    Never mind that, who is the idiot who thinks the biggest issue in life is the dress code of people in Tesco, and feels the appropriate way of complaining is to take photos and post them online?

    Rather than focusing on the woman, it's the idiot who complained in the first place who should be the focus of the derision.

    They seem decently covered up. What's the problem? (And no, of course it's not racist or sexist - it's just a bloody silly complaint, possibly motivated by racism, but not provably so).

    started a topic Is it cuz I'm a traveller?

    Is it cuz I'm a traveller?

    Traveller women pictured shopping in Tesco wearing pyjamas slam "sexist and racist" man who shamed them online - Mirror Online

    One of the women, who are reportedly members of the traveller community, has broken her silence to hit back at the male critic who "internationally shamed" them.

    The woman told The Sun she only nipped out to buy some milk for her five-month-old son and thought nothing of wearing her pyjamas.

    She told the newspaper: “I’m disgusted that a man has taken our picture and put it online asking for Tesco to ban people wearing their pyjamas.

    "We are travellers and we feel like it is sexist and racist. It’s an attack on our culture and way of life."
    yes its an attack on your way of life dear.
