I guess it depends. This neighbour has children so it is not really very nice for them to see. My nan has a problem like this. One of her neighbours (a man) goes out in the garden starkers all the time. Looking out of her windows you can see into all surrounding gardens as they are not very private. She is now worried about looking out the window as she doesn't want to see his bits. To top it off he plays with it all the time and it's sometimes hard!! I don't think this is acceptable as my poor nan (who is 77) dreads looking out at her garden - the garden she loves.
Vinny, behave!!!! I can understand loobie's Nan's problem and think that in a garden that is overlooked like this, it is unacceptable. It is not easy to avoid looking. It's fine in a sheltered garden or somewhere that cannot be seen.
Nudity certainly doesn't bother me and I don't find it obscene. I wouldn't complain about it - but the thought of having a chat with my two neighbours over the fence if they were both (fellas) naked doesn't enthral me!!
Lol vinny!! I don't mean all day long!! I just meant that when she's seen him out there he fiddles with it!! Apparently he was cleaning the paving naked the other day!!! But the weirdest thing is, is that sometimes he goes out there, goes down to his shed and comes out dressed!!! Don't get me wrong I am aware that my nan has obviously looked for longer than one second, but to be honest so would I cos its not the sort of thing that you normally see!! The gardens where she lives are very very close together. Long and thin (i'm talking about the garden!!!!)
Maybe your neighbour got stung by nettles & was just having a good scratch!!!!
I agree with you & your Nan - I wouldn't be very pleased to see neighbours waking around in their garden starkers, but as the lady in question was found not guilty, we'll just have to stick to the saying:
' An Englishman's home is his Castle'
or
'An Englishwoman's home is her Castle'
I don't know about anyone else but the only times I look out of the windows is when I close/open curtains, so couldn't care less if I have a nudist camp next door or a dizzying display of garden gnomes. As long as it's not rubbish, it doesn't stink, it's not too loud, and is not illegal I don't mind what my neighbours get up to in the privacy of their own homes and grounds.
People make too much fuss over nudity here. Having lived in Sweden for a while it is really strange when people ask you not to go top-less on a beach as it is very much a normal thing over there.
Mind you the only thing that stops me from sunbathing naked in my garden is the digital camera my neighbour keeps in his study.
S.
JustSia, like your views but the reason why my nan looks out the window is because she's obsessed with her garden!! Since my grandad died two years ago she hasn't had much to do. She doesn't go out on her own as he was always by her side and she's 77 so she's always home all day on her own. The garden was my grandad's pride and joy so i think that's why she likes it so much and that's why she looks out the window! she wants to see her garden, not her neighbours d**k!!
Nudity does not offend me, but this is more of a feeling of exhibitionism than anything else.
From the newspaper reports, it is apparent that this lady likes to parade around her garden in the nude, which is offensive to some neighbours, hence the court case. You could argue that people behave as they wish on their own property, but that has to balanced with a degree of sensitivity for others. If this lady is doing a "It's my garden, I'll do as I like ..." number then that is being a selfish insensitive neighbour - as much as playing loud music or repairing cars.
The fact that she has been photographed for the Daily Mail with strategic foliage, and a rather sinister smile on her face, suggests that this lady has exhibitionist tendencies which would be better explored away from people who like to enjoy their gardens, without her proclivities spoiling the view.
I also spend a lot of time looking out of my windows! We have binoculars & a telescope to watch antics of the birs (feathery kind of course) & the squirrels.
Whilst on the subject of birs, I wouldn't want to capture some blokes c0ck, or a pair of t!ts swinging about whilst she's doing her gardening - besides, it attracts flies!!!!!!!!
Heavens, i nearly sprayed the keyboard with tea then lol....
on the subject of our lovely bodies, i love to take the ferry across to Sandbanks from Poole in Bournemouth. On the sides is an advert about the nudist beach.... been there years.... so a time and a place me thinks.....
i seem to remember somebody being taken to court for the same nudist acts in their garden, but they lost. Why? children were being exposed to their nudity.
Love my garden too, and we've also got binoculars and a telescope lol.... more for moon watching.... guess that would be the case for dear loobies nan too....
perhaps you could post the man a large leaf.....
About 15 years ago, a woman complained to the police that her female neighbour was sunbathing naked in full view. She said it was not very nice for her husband, although the husband did not seem to have been allowed an opinion. It was all sorted out without a court case, in a way that today's programmed police officers would not be able to do.
