Yep. That laid back and then some. Mind you, I dont think the shoe less thing counts in the winter.
It is not really acceptable to go wandering into bars or eateries wearing nothing but swimmers, but casual is THE byword.

How have we got from "why to leave the UK" to going shoeless and naked around supermarkets???? Before you know it we will be talking about cucumbers!

It does, amazingly.

There's a woman who lives on the opposite side of my street who I've never seen wearing shoes. She even goes into town on the bus barefoot. It's actually pretty common to see people here walking around in public places in bare feet.

You will have to change to the male view on shoes.

1) Buy two pair of shoes, one smart one casual
2) Wear the required pair based on situation
3) When a pair becomes to smelly or fall apart replace them

We can aford to go then :)
