Thank you gents. Very useful info and much appreciated.

So no shorts in public. How about beaches? Can i do some sunbathing there? I don't want to like a twat having brown face and arms and the rest of my body white.
Are there any beaches so I could wear speedos and enjoy some sunshine and swim in the sea at the weekend??

What's the situation If i share a property with an outdoor pool? Can I wear a little then?

It may sound blunt but I'm a bit confused about it all.
