I REFER to the anonymous letter in the BEN on January 21, about nude shopping.

I couldn't agree more with the one-word description - pathetic.

If such an absurd measure is to be introduced what on earth will it teach children (and some adults)? That it is perfectly OK to walk around public places stark naked?

If people are arrested for 'indecent' exposure, when such behaviour is committed in other places such as parks, why wouldn't it seem to apply in this case?
