    Brill poem, Zig. :dbgrtmb:

    I remember going to visit at the Abbey Gardens in Malmesbury, Wiltshire where "the naked gardeners" (as seen on GW and other gardening programmes at the time) opened their beautiful gardens to the public. They planted thousands of tulips every Spring, and that's what I wanted to see. In fact, I saw the naked gardener himself (although he was wearing a loincloth at the time) busily at work. I shyly asked him if I could take a photo and he said yes and proceeded to chat to us for a while - what a nice bloke.

    I think they went on to have special "naked gardening weekends" there, but don't know if they're still happening (I've still got the photo somewhere).

    Blokes look very silly with no clothes on. Especially if it is cold!!! SOME women look stunning, others should stay covered up or at home.

    I had a desperate phone call at 3.30am on Friday night, from my teenage daughter. She was going to stay with friends but an argument started and she decided she wanted to come home. Of course I got the keys and went to fetch Daddy's Little Princess. Driving into town I was horrified at what some of the very young girls were wearing or rather NOT wearing. I had my combat jacket and my colours on, plus jeans and my Harley boots, BECAUSE IT WAS COLD!!! I saw girls wearing belts for skirts, strappy tops and nothing else. I couldn't hep thinking "Does your mother know you are out dressed like that". Bloody scarey stuff. My daughter told me that was quite normal as it was more important to look good rather than stay warm!

    Now if all women looked like Kim Kardashian or Kelly Brook, I would be delighted to see them naked gardening. Better still just naked! Well I can dream can't I?

    Only one who sees me nekid is Mrs Chopper. She has recovered well from the initial shock. An image for you to ponder. 6 feet and 16 stone of scars tattoos, battered legs and shrapnel holes, mostly metal left arm, long hair and a goattie beard! Not to mentionbeing anti social ona good day.:rofl::rofl::rofl:

    Chopper.

    There is another reason why young lasses where next to nowt on a night out. Unscrupulous nightclub managers crank the heating up high so that you have no option but to drink loads to prevent dehydrating.

    I don't think youngsters feel the cold the way that us older folks do. I remember my mum being horrified at me & friends going out in the winter wearing our mini-skirts. I think I had more than a strappy top on, though, at least to get to the disco. I just genuinely didn't feel cold and thought she was fussing for no good reason!
