Regarding the OP:

Consenting adults can do what they like in their own private spaces, but don't do it in the street and frighten the horses.

Suppose you were about to get on the bus, and you saw this guy getting off it. You'd be getting on thinking, there's one seat here which I really don't want to sit on, but which one is it???

Guy should just drape a blanket over himself or get a muumuu or something, and keep telling himself he's naked under the muumuu.

And do you think he went naked in prison?

That, I think, is pretty much the guy's point. He's a hiker, he walks everywhere and doesn't use buses - and anyway, I'd feel far happier sitting on a seat he'd used than any of the ones in my dog owning friends homes.

I find a little bit of nudity each day is good for the soul.

If i was also naked, I would have a problem with who/what sat there before, but I would carry a towel to sit on. if i was not naked, no, no problem.

According to the H2G2, a towel is the most useful item you can keep around.

I've sat down next to very pissy-smelling old men and afterwards thought - at least I didn't come in and sit on the seat they just vacated!

I mean if you're travelling on a bus you're taking pot luck anyway.
We had a pretty horrid trip down to Cardiff sitting across from a man who was really rude to his old Mam (sat next to him) and having a huge row on the phone with his ex re custody of his son. Constant swearing, threats to smack both of them, shouting. And I don't mean one phone call or one row with his Mam. It was on and off over 3.5 hours. I had my earplugs in (of course!) so I only picked up the highlights. But my Mum felt quite intimidated. And when you're 64 and 5'4" you don't have a word with a man who is saying "Shut the fuck up you old cunt" to his own Mam.

BUT it looks like I'll be taking the coach to AND from Glasgow this year, despite swearing never to do it again...
The lowest overnight train is likely to be £55. Lowest single sleeper (that I'd kinda promised myself) is £130. Didn't think about the fact that everything is more expensive coming up to Christmas and major bargains happen in January (when we travelled last time). Far too much to get saved in time.

Diz's vet bill has nixed any chance of saving thus far. I pay the final installment end of this month, but I could have had £200 by now. If'n I hadn't decided there was something else I needed to spend it on (I know myself, I'm not an habitual saver).

Still, if my Secret Santa wants to buy something that costs 260x the suggested limit, I'd like a single berth on the Caledonian Sleeper please

Still, would I rather have the money, or Diz?
The money of course! I could easily buy another cat!

































Kidding.
But don't tell him that.

I've secretly been naked underneath my clothes for years.

Anyone remember Andrew Martinez who went to UC Berkley naked and was arrested several times?

Sadly he died several years later by suicide while in police custody.

No but I googled him, thanks. Does that mean I'm nuts too, cause I kinda feel the same. But I conform for an easy life -the principle is kinda low on my importance list and would interfere with ones higher up, like taking an active role in my kids' schools

I don't have a problem with nudity. In fact, if the girls in my office wanted to come to work naked, I will fight to the death to defend their right to do it!

I don't think that people should be able to just walk around in public places naked. If someone is a "naturalist", there are communities around the world where they can freely live that lifestyle. Maybe that's the more conservative side of me. The more liberal side of me says that if you want to do anything that isn't illegal, I have no problem with that. Just don't do it where people who don't want to see that can see it.

I like the feeling of being free when I'm naked and I sleep that way. But I sure as hell don't want to walk around that way all day. I'm no hunchback, but I'm not Brad Pitt either.
