Anyone who has ventured onto a beach or public swimming pool on holiday has had an unintentional eyeful from someone wearing a pair, but men's Speedos may soon be on their way out, after they were banned from Alton Towers to 'prevent embarassment' for visitors.

Those who have the memory of Rod Stewart's leopard print Speedos still burnt onto the inside of their eyelids may rejoice, but should Speedos be banned from British waterparks and beaches altogether?
