WHAT’S wrong with people dressing for the weather? If it’s raining you wear a raincoat, if it’s cold a warm jumper. So, if it’s scorching hot, why shouldn’t people strip off a bit.

And anyway, shouldn’t we glory in the beauty of the human body? Whatever form it might take.

Personally, I’m all for people showing off just as much as they feel comfortable with. And before anyone climbs onto the ‘sexist bandwagon’, the same applies for men or women – get ’em off and don’t be afraid to show off your natural beauty.

And, precisely because we all know it is in the eye of the beholder, this advice goes out to everyone, whatever their shape or size.

With respect to one of our letter writers, saying white flesh should be covered up is absurd. If you insist on this, how is anyone ever going to turn white expanses into bronzed flesh? And remember, it’s only a matter of fashion which dictates a well-bronzed bod is more attractive than a pale, and more interesting, appearance.

As for the comments about nipples, bellies and buttocks, we’ve all got them and, in varying degrees all find them attractive, so once again – bring it on, I say, what’s the harm?

After all, if you’re really are offended by something you see, just don’t look again. All too often these days people are looking for something to complain about and should try going with the flow a bit more.

While we’re on the subject I honestly believe the majority of right-minded, perfectly decent people look forward to the warmer weather precisely because the number of beautiful bodies on display will increase.

Such a view is perfectly natural and doesn’t make them perverts.
