Well, some people are certainly not pleased:

http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/Yorkhall/messages/609?o=1&xm=1&l=1

The 'Spa London' website that sets out the "swimming costumes must be
worn at all times" requirement is here:

http://www.spa-london.org/subpage.asp?id=235&mainid=21

Didn't someone hereabouts recently make a plausible case that
requiring clothing to be worn for such activities might actually be a
*breach* of 'elfansafety' rules?

How about BN approaching the Spa and suggesting a regular 'naturist
evening'? Better from them, than individuals I think if they are that
cautious.

Howe about BN approaching ALL local authorities and suggesting regular
naturist or clothing optional sessions?

Thanks for the post showing that the British will support tourism. I am
glad to see that Tower Hamlets is supporting the tourists in the
rec.travel.europe group.

This is, of course, typical--destroy facilities for men in favor of
women. And the sad thing is that the men never do stand up for
themselves; they simply retreat, at school, in churches, in the media,
at work, etc. Shame.
