Very Modern Manners ...

DESPITE the unseasonably warm weather in some parts of the country recently, Britain’s top male model, David Gandy, is adamant that men should not remove their shirts in public. ‘I’m in the park every morning with my dog Dora and I wouldn’t take my top off even if it was 30C,’ he tells me. ‘You should respect people in a park as much as you would for a wedding.’ Gandy, 38, who is courting criminal lawyer Stephanie Mendoros, 32, adds: ‘When it’s hot, I wear material that is appropriate for the sun — thin materials, linen suits.’ highly paid Gandy, incidentally, shot to fame wearing only a pair of white swimming trunks in an advertising campaign for Dolce & Gabbana.
