What does everyone class as Beach Etiquette at Grays Lane.
We are not time wasters, we arrive the night before, go away to camp and then are back at the crack of dawn, usually leaving by lunchtime as we have a limited time away from our family.
We are polite to everyone, but not everyone gets invited to play and we don't play in a group thing just one or maybe two guys. So my question when is it okay to be rude to someone.
Example. We set up our tent in the usual spot last weekend on the edge of the dunes in a shaded area. A male came and set up on the edge of the dune about 5 metres from our shade tent. He stood on the edge of the dune watching over the beach and anyone who looked at us, he kind of spocked out. So we went for a walk. Then I went for a walk to collect shells as usual. He approached Mr and asked do we play, and if so were we playing this weekend. Mr's usual answer is it's up to me. He hung. I came back and He hung. I went for a swim he hung at our tent. We went for another walk he followed. I went for another swim he hung and then went back to his towel, once again watching the beach ....
He came back to our tent and to get rid of him without being rude I went for another swim, I then started to play with Mr and he zoomed in. I stopped and then suggest that Mr and I go back to the car park for some lunch. He said I'm going for lunch too and took all his stuff. When we left the car park to come back he followed us and set up in the same spot. We met someone we had prearranged to meet and he tried to zoom in on it. Mr asked him to stand back as he would put the situation off and spoil it for me but he still made the situation so uncomfortable the guy we'd came to meet couldn't even get it up.
So my question is how rude do you have to be, because I'm not a rude person but I don't do sympathy stud just because you won't leave us alone. Any thought on how I can politely handle these situations because our once or twice a month at the beach is our only time away from family duties.
