It was the BEACH. There are going to be people exposing flesh there. It's just part of the background.

YABU for going to blackpool

Yes, I think a bit unreasonable. You were on a beach, where people often wear very little. Men in skimpies, naked children and over-exposed women are all to be expected on any beach.

tbh I would prefer to see a woman in bra and knickers on the beach (albeit non-matching) than a man in the street completely topless. Just imo.

I think you should exercise care when taking the pictures, especially if the semi naked adults were in the forefront of your picture. I would be most unimpressed if I was trying to change (which I do v discreetly) and you were there flashing your camera.

YABU and lighten up.

geeze we were in South of France last year, on packed beaches and it's anything goes I tell you. I wish those ladies had thought to wear a bra .

Then again, I admire the attitude of the old girls (in some cases really old and really large) going topless & enjoying sunning themselves as much as the teenagers . You do get used to it after a while.

YABU - it's the beach.

You could have them photoshoped?

Or better still, take your family to a photographers studio and get them to photograph you all in front of a blue background while wearing your swimsuits. Pose in lots of suitably beach like poses; throwing a beach ball, sunbathing etc. Then the photographer will be able to superimpose you all on to a suitable background, entirely oik free!

Or you could just accept that the world contains human beings - with anatomy - and regard your photos as a true record of happy times, as opposed to displaying your own idealised, sterilsed, view of the world.

Do you want them to wear a burka on the beach?

Don't go to Germany with an attitude like that. The sight of men in thongs might send you over the edge.

just crop them when you put pics on pc, or make the pics zoomed on your family etc

Who wears matching knickers and bra to the beach FGS?
