Yes - but it depends on what you mean by "public".

Many years ago my wife and I were on holiday in Provence and we took a boat trip to the Ile du Levant, on which is located a nudist community. This was not near the port area where we found a market selling holiday goods.

We had a return crossing but it was not for about four hours. We decided to relax on a beach. We saw that there was one about a kilometre from where we were. As we walked along the road we came to a barrier. In a small shelter next to the barrier was a naked woman. She told us to get undressed before going any further. People who were walking along the same road demonstrated that they were already prepared for this instruction. We took our clothes off on the spot.

We sunbathed for a couple of hours, nearby everyone else was naked - including whole families. And we walked some distance back to the barrier before attempting to put any clothes back on. It seemed normal and unremarkable.

The BBC's charter is due for renewal in 2027. Do you consider that the BBC - as we know it - will continue beyond this date?

Yes.

A long bike ride in the country on a beautiful, warm sunny day, with plenty of dosh on me for pubs and second-hand book shops, and no Covid restrictions.
I once tried using "chicken" as a password, but was told it must contain a capital so I tried "chickenkiev"
On another occasion, I tried "beefstew", but was told it wasn't stroganoff.

I don't think so. What do you think I've forgotten?

A question. Isn't that part of the idea of the thread?

No

Have you any antiques? We have a church pew my mother bought from a monastery sale in 1952 she got it for a fiver. It is a few hundred years old and has some intricate carvings on it.

Yes. I have a number of old books, the oldest being a very tatty edition of 'Robinson Crusoe' from c.1760, and some old clocks, the oldest being a long-case made by John Pitt of Tetbury between 1830 and 1856.

Do you prefer a shower or a bath? I much prefer a shower.

Which do you prefer, dark mornings or dark nights? I prefer the latter.

Spring. Usually it isn't too hot or too cold.

Which do you dislike the most very hot or cold weather? I dislike intense heat the most.

I prefer very hot weather as you can take clothes off.

Never heard of Peacocks. I get ours from Tesco.

If you had a time machine would you make use of it?

Yes, if I could then get back, that is. I'd travel back to West Ham glory days of the mid 60's, or late 70's/early 80's and see how easy it really was to take the Shed.

I can't think of anything.

In the very unlikely event of Trump turning up at your home would you invite him in? You don't need to ask what my answer would be. ;D
