The freaking Kiwis et al. don't need a clarification?
You racist jerk.

So, Brits, is this an anti-chav measure? Because if so, it makes the quote from the kid in the article so much funnier.

/reads it again with an Ali G accent
//goddamn i hate Ali G

All I know is that I recently learnt the joys of breaking shiat when I'm drunk - Luckily it was a cardboard box.
/Need to get tons of boxes, a Flogging Molly CD and some beer.
//Yes, I'm a poser punk when I'm drunk.
///It's fun.

Was that the shortest article ever posted or what?

A jumper? My kids wore jumpers when they were little. Men in the UK wear them too?

staplermofo: The freaking Kiwis et al. don't need a clarification?

Well we Kiwis probably don't, I remember buying The Beano when I was a kid, which featured the character.

Though I think they could be called Freddy Krueger jerseys to avoid confusion.

how did this get green lit, its barely interesting

This just in, bars make their own dress codes. Film at 11.

dbirchall: To clarify for the US farkers, this is the UK Dennis the Menace, not the US one. (My kid is a fan of the UK one; I'll be mentioning this to her.)

Please, tell us about the UK Dennis. What's the difference? Is the UK Dennis a evil, drug addled, wicked, blood thirsty fiend?

Hoodies, tracksuit bottoms and Rockport boots also break the dress code at the Walkabout in Lancaster

WTF? Rockport boots? Are Doc Martens OK?, or will I be evicted for possibly being a trouble maker? The Walkabout sounds like a real fun place to spend a Saturday night.

I have to agree about wearing tracksuit bottoms out to a bar/pub/restaurant. It's so Philadelphia.

and so we reach yet another new low for gratuitous use of 'nanny state' in a headline.

FTFA: Hoodies, tracksuit bottoms and Rockport boots also break the dress code at the Walkabout in Lancaster. A spokesman said: "These people are not welcome in the bar."

But student Lee Sibbert, 18, said: "It's a striped jumper. It doesn't make you a madman."

I thought Rockports made you feel like walking? Mine sure do. Tracksuits? not so much.

wrong menace, subby.


/nerdy fact of the day: dennis the menace (us and uk) were created at virtually the same time, with the first issue of the uk dennis the menace being published only 3 days after the first american strip. the two characters are unrelated. For more, ask my crazy british ex.

from wikipedia:
"Dennis, Dennis the Menace is a boy of around ten years old; he is solidly built with a mass of spiky black hair, and is habitually dressed in a black and red striped jumper, and a large pair of black shoes which he occasionally takes off. Dennis is an anti-hero; broadly well-intentioned, but utterly amoral, and possessed of a moral code that is widely at variance with that of grown ups and authority: school is boring, homework to be avoided, parents an occupational hazard (at best), and Walter the Softy a traitor to boyhood. Dennis is the indefatigable enemy of all of the above; the bane of a many a teacher's life, the despair of his parents, and the terror of Walter and his chums. Although most of Dennis's escapades and vendettas are doomed to end in retribution, he is never daunted, and always returns the following week enthusiastic for fresh villainy. Even back in the early days, when Dennis was spanked 'severely and often' (to quote his father), the effects were invariably very short lived, the Menace always ready to return to the fray; it didn't matter how often Dennis got whacked by Dad or Teacher, corporal punishment was almost entirely ineffective, and only really to be feared from Granny's dreaded Demon Whacker, which was even known to inspire Dennis to brush his hair and tidy himself up. It is implied in several sketches he has a crush on Minnie the Minx, as they are occasionally seen together. He was once Minnie's Valentine in the 1960s."

so all in all, far more right to name than the USA Dennis, who aggravates a single old man with shenanigans.

But student Lee Sibbert, 18, said: "It's a striped jumper. It doesn't make you a madman."

Oh, SNAP! He just tore that bar owner a new one! That is a valuable lesson which no one will ever forget!
But really, any clothing with stripes can cause severe rioting to break out without warning. It's science.

NeauxFear: So, Brits, is this an anti-chav measure?

Yep. Usually has the words "Fred Perry" written across it too.

Um.

Yup. This isn't news at all. Belongs on Fark.

I guess.

/*blink*

Dennis the Menace is so un-pc it's funny. He regularly picks on the 'softies' (group of effeminate boys) and when he's bad he gets 'slippered' by his dad. It's not actually clear if one Dennis the Menace copied another. They both first appeared within a week of each other.

Also the editor of the Beano (the comic he's in) is called Euan Kerr. Cruel cruel cruel cruel cruel parents.

NANNY STATE NANNY STATE! I have no idea what I'm linking but it must be Nanny State! Stop keeping us down you fat cats!
Seriously, these "Nanny State" links are so moronic and they've really got out of hand.
An owner of an establish set a new rule, alert the press!

Wouldn't it be more of a nanny state if pubs weren't allowed to make their own dress codes?

epocalypse pretty much explained for me.

Dennis (UK) is just a pest, a prankster, always scheming to do something. Dennis (US) more often than not means well, and things just don't go as planned.

Approves.



Also approves.



Does her own thing.

Dennis, Plug and Minnie the Minx bring back tons of joy from my Childhood; Grandma kept me supplied with Beano and Dr. Who annuals all throughout the late 70s and 80s.

Things got even cooler with Calamity James and the Bash Street Kids.

///Can I blame Jamie Oliver?

Yes, Mr. Wilson is smiling.

It looks like Dennis's mouth is behind his eyes.

A pub with a dress code? Sounds good to me. The stupid chav choice of dress around here is Rockport beige or lt. blue work boots, sweats or jeans two sizes too big hanging off your arse and a tshirt two sizes too big.

We have had a few bars end up going under because the chav crowd showed up so nobody else would go there any longer.

A striped jumper.

This is quite reasonable. A certain type of aggressive scum has a dress code, certain labels are a warning of trouble. Isn't the hooped shirt a code meaning you're a drug dealer? I had to stop wearing an expensive Stone Island top I bought a few years ago as I didn't know it's basically an advert that you're a troublemaking bastard and bouncers often stopped me going into high-class bars. It's certainly no worse than arresting people for flashing silly "gang signs" in the land of the free.

Is the Walkabout chain of pubs going tits up?

I went in the Islington branch on Friday night and it was empty. What was even more suspicious was that all drinks were £2 and there was free food at the bar.

Not complaining though. £2 drinks in central London isn't an offer that I'm going to turn down!

Welcome to the ignore list, douche-bag.

This is why I like the US drinking age of 21. We don't get a lot of customers who dress like cartoon characters.

/UK Dennis is much more of a badass
// Chavs would get shiatbeat in the US before they even made it in the door

Dunno why this is anything to do with Nanny States as it seems to be a decision by a private business to enforce a dress code.

For anyone who lives in Florida, a dress code is when an establishment wishes to maintain a certain level of class and decorum and thus can choose to deny entry to people who are not dressed to an appropriate standard.
