'Oh my God, it's amazing': Greater Manchester naturist says he's cracked energy bills crisis... because he never has laundry - and even goes to his local pub naked
A naturist from Rochdale has given some bizarre advice for helping keep energy costs low - claiming his unusual lifestyle means hardly any laundry to do.
He was finally encouraged to ditch clothes in his everyday life when wife Karen googled 'why is my husband always naked?' after spotting him mowing the lawn in the buff. The pair came across the word 'naturism' - a lifestyle and cultural movement advocating social nudity. "The response was fantastic and people were asking in local Facebook groups 'have you seen the naked cyclist?' So it was quite a thing because nobody knew who I was at that point and there was like a hunt to find out who the naked cyclist was for about two years.
Stuart said that some six years ago he told wife Karen, a senior support worker, they were going on weekend camping trip when they visited a naturist site for the first time in Knutsford, Cheshire East. "You have a chat and they're like 'oh, are you a naturist?' and you just have a conversation with people you would never have a conversation with, it would just be 'hiya' and then you'd carry on.
"The only time really that I get dressed is if we're going into a shopping centre or I'm going to work, that's it," he said, adding that he usually calls ahead to pubs and asks if they are 'ok' with him coming in naked, as he 'isn't out to upset anybody'. "So when I go in, if there's people eating or if there's children in the back, then I'll sit at the front of the pub which is a smoking area where there's no children. If there's people I'll put my shorts on and still go in and have a drink. I'm not there to upset anybody and not everyone will agree with it.
