Man, this article is winding me up today.
Its about a woman sunbathing in her own back garden nude, and being done for indecent exposure or something.
What on earth is wrong with sunbathing nude in your own back garden????????
I remember my mother doing it frequently when I was a child.

In particular, the comment from the woman attacking the nude sunbather:
"I have been extremely shaken by this. It has been very upsetting and worrying. I don't want to bring up my children in such an environment."
What??!?!?! What on earth is wrong with the naked human body????????? What sort of message is she sending to her childen?? That the naked human body is shameful???
How are her children supposed to have realistic ideas about what a naked human body should look like, if they never get to see one, and the only ones they do see are the ones in magazines, films etc, which obviously bare no resemblance to real bodies in real life???
Its crazy.
Maybe I'm more liberal - I've been to nudist beaches on holiday and of course, had plenty of saunas the Finnish way (ie nude) with a bunches of strangers in finland and the UK. But still.
