Alton Towers bans Speedos

Alton Towers has banned male visitors from wearing Speedos in its waterpark on grounds of taste.

The bosses of the Staffordshire tourist attraction are also considering introducing mandatory bikini waxing for men.
The company said a number of men had been seen sporting ultra-tight trunks this summer, reports the Daily Telegraph.
A company statement said: "To prevent embarrassment among fellow members of the public and to maintain the family friendly atmosphere at the resort, bosses have taken the extreme measure of banning these tight trunks from their popular waterpark located within the Splash Landings Hotel.
"While women may hail the return of the skimpy bathers, the style itself is not deemed public or family friendly, and therefore we are requesting that male swimmers wear more appropriate styles such as boardshorts.
"The resort is also considering introducing mandatory bikini waxing for men, in a bid to prevent unsightly hair from being on display."
Morwenna Angove, Alton Towers Resort sales and marking director, said "We feel this small brief style is not appropriate for a family venue so we are advising male bathers to wear more protective swimwear such as shorts.
"We are also looking into offering complimentary male waxing, which will ensure preserve the dignity of all our guests."
