@Socksoff1 @MailOnline Are they talking about the artworks or the visitors? ;)

@doctordst @LadygodivaLDN I've been there many years ago, it's a lovely beach. Practically unspoiled in my day, hope it still is.

@Socksoff1 Aren't we still on BST?

@asta_woodings @anejonomad And breastfeeding in public seems to have been commonplace, judging from the photos in this article:

[Roaming Rodger @roaming_rodger]

@asta_woodings @anejonomad I'm not sure it's that simple. You can find many nude images in Victorian art - see e.g. the Pre-Raphaelites and Aubrey Beardsley - and it seems nude sea bathing was practised with impunity, if not universal approval.

@nacouk @Socksoff1 This is a disheartening read. I used to go to Zandvoort beach and I remember when Adam & Eva was one of a string of clothes-optional cafes, now it seems to be the last one left :-(

Do You Need to Be Naked to Truly Appreciate a Work of Art? We Joined a Nudist Museum Tour to Investigate https://t.co/LVPVvNlTcS

@_free_to_be_me_ I was on this trip and it was most enjoyable. The gallery staff were very welcoming, in fact one of them was inspired to enter into the spirit of the occasion.

@whyndham @_free_to_be_me_ @ExploreWellcome I've solved that problem with a small shoulder bag sourced from a camping shop, which will hold my valuables and trusty Moleskine sketchbook.

@britnaturism 1980: I was in Munich on my Interrail trip, noticed there seemed to be some naked people in a public park and thought, when in Rome ... (it was the Englischer Garten).

@Socksoff1 @britnaturism @spielplatzclub @All4 Ha, I recognise that woolly hat!

@Socksoff1 @bristolnatmag According to this week's Private Eye, some tabloid newspapers have a trick of posting something contentious on Mumsnet and writing up the ensuing debate as a "news story".

@paoftwo @Socksoff1 Except it was 100p to the pound, never 100d. Some old coins remained in circulation for a while, e.g. the tanner which was worth 2 1/2 p. Yes there was a half-p coin.

[Roaming Rodger @roaming_rodger]

@VeranaturistC @Socksoff1 Half crown coins were in circulation in my youth, but not crowns.

[Roaming Rodger @roaming_rodger]

@VeranaturistC @Socksoff1 The 'd' for old pence stood for 'denarius', of course. And we switched to decimal currency in 1971, before we joined the EEC as it then was.
