Re: Inappropriate behaviour finally clarified
It's nice to see Dubai government instructing adults on how to conduct themselves!
How about the indecent driving, lack of manners when standing in a line, shouting on the mobile, staring and not minding your own business?
I'd like to see them issue a report about those things as well...

I am wondering if this means that Ramadan will get strickter again...over the past years more and more places have stayed open during the day and you could see people on the beach for instance eating and drinking...maybe that will change now...

What about when locals greet each other by kissing sometimes, they either do that nose thing or kiss each other on the cheeks - is that now banned then?
I also like the rule about queuing - being British I'm all for it, but can't see the Locals going for it, or other Asians for that matter, they just don't get it.

I feel sorry for the cyclists... they are restricted to using cycle routes - but has anyone ever seen one?!

Will the paper bags they're making us carry alcohol in be brown?

so its cool for two male indian workers to hold hands, as there is nothing sexual in it, but not cool for a lawfully married couple..
obviously not, that's finger sex..
I hold my wife's hand all the time when we are shopping, its the only way I can stop her from buying things..

It was good to see the local guy come over and send them back to the queue, they really thought they could just do what they wanted.
And they weren't locals either.

When we flew back to Sharjah a few weeks ago these two little tarts just walked right to the front of the passport queue, in front of me and mrs spugsy, in fact she stood on my foot, I had to give her a gentle shove,

Spugsy, I think I have told everyone on here the story of the Scandinavian guy who refused to let a local jump the queue at Immigration. He was deported within one week, simply because the local happened to be well connected. Think before you act over here.

There is a cycle path down Jumeirah Beach Road, not that i'd want to use though. Drivers along there are totally insane!

Well that drugs rule pretty much rules out many modern medical practises 
. Whoever wrote that code of conduct should be taken out into the desert (or man made forest) and killed until dead.
