Typical behaviour in the UK by all accounts.
Your impression squares with my experience when hiking nude in England. And the English carry that attitude with them on travels. I was free-hiking in a remote area of Hawaii island when I encountered a middle age couple unexpectedly. I started to wrap in my pareau but they waved with a "no worries, that's become quite popular.". Very cool, I wish that was the normal response from Americans.
more often than I should. Sometimes at night. During the day I sit out front and read in a robe, sometimes just briefs. Yesterday the woman next door and I talked for an hour while I was just wearing my boxer briefs which leave very little to the imagination.
Maybe a thong or g-string to be really daring. :)
I often collect my newspaper in the morning naked. One day I could not find it and had to check in front of next door and got down on all fours to check under our cars and a neighbour over the road walked out and got in his car and went to work, no idea if he say me, I haven't asked, he hasn't said.
I was in the front yard nude yesterday morning. It was 5:30 a.m. and the sun was just coming up. I wanted to water the lawn early. Since I woke up this early I simply climbed out of bed (I sleep nude) and went out to turn the sprinkler on. As I was checking to make sure it was reaching where it needed to go, I looked up to see a neighbor in his front yard two houses down from me looking my way. Don't know what he thought and he didn't say anything to me. Nevertheless, I will do it again, just maybe a little earlier in the morning before it gets light out.
