Bathing costume

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Just looked at my knitted woolen bathing costume as I'm coming out in a few weeks.  Haven't used it for a few years and seems the moths have been at it.  There are holes at the knees and elbows which are beyond darning.  It was handed down from my Grandpapa.
Tried Sports Direct but the spotty 12 year old, or so he seemed, had no idea what I was talking about.  Shocking.  Can anyone suggest a vendor for such a garment?
By the by, ar there any bathing machines on Albufeira beach which my wife can use to enter the water with modesty?

	Jock, if you don't get sorted in time go to Salgados West beach, such garments are not required there!

	Jock it's your description "knitted woollen bathing costume" that is the problem. Sports Direct do stock them but nowadays there are called Mankinis. I've got a lime green one and will get another for my next visit in a few weeks time.
