"Wear nice pants" - police tell women drinkers

Thu Jul 13, 2006 11:24 AM BST

LONDON (Reuters) - Women going on boozy nights out have been warned by police to "wear nice pants" in case they fall down drunk in the street.

A Suffolk police safety campaign magazine shows pictures of young women slumped on the ground next to messages urging them: "If you've got it, don't flaunt it".

"If you fall over or pass out, remember your skirt or dress may ride up," the magazine says. "You could show off more than you intended -- for all our sakes, please make sure you're wearing nice pants and that you've recently had a wax."

Readers are also told to stick with friends, book a taxi home and watch the amount they drink.

2. WTF?

"You could show off more than you intended -- for all our sakes, please make sure you're wearing nice pants and that you've recently had a wax."

This has got to be one of the stupidest things I have ever read. What the fuck do they think that women go out just to please the cops?

4. is 'pants' British for 'underwear'?

because otherwise this doesn't make sense. Why would you have to worry about the state of your wax job if you have on pants?

I guess we should thank them for thinking of us.

5. Yes

Although having seen the state of some young women in Britain's towns late on a Friday or Saturday night, I honestly believe no advice is too condescending for them. Yeesh.

7. thanks, now I get it.

because I was thinking, how can he see my waxed parts through my pants.

"be sure to wear nice pants..."

8. I did not know that.

Hence my extreme confusion, thanks for clearing that up.

And if underwear are pants, what are pants? Trousers?

[billyskank]

9. Yes, trousers

3. It would be a better idea to discourage "falling down drunk" behavior?

Just sayin'.
