A pub landlord has dropped a subtle hint to those whose body is more Johnny Vegas than David Gandy.

The host of the Red Lion in Sittingbourne put out this A-board to encourage those with a sofa body, rather than a beach body, to leave it safely undercover.

As the temperatures are set to nudge 30C today the landlord appealed to drinkers: "When it's hot please dress for the body you have, not the body you want! Thanks x Salad served here"

But not everyone thought the sign was appropriate.

One Facebook poster said: "Nice bit of body shaming."

Another dubbed the sign "disgusting".

But the Red Lion landlord need not be too concerned.

A severe weather warning has been issued for heavy rain in Kent tomorrow and on Bank Holiday Monday.

While the county is bathed in sun today the rest of the long weekend is likely to be a washout.

The Met Office says a band of heavy rain is likely to spread across the region through Sunday and into Monday, with torrential downpours and thunder possible.

A spokesman said: "There are early indications that this could result in some disruption, with sudden flooding of roads, transport routes, homes and businesses possible.

"Please monitor forecasts through this weekend."

The yellow "be aware" warning is in place from midday on Sunday until midday on Monday.
