'I've now got the most famous builder's bum in the North West'
Police were called after a decorator was spotted painting the outside of his friend's house completely naked - apart from his boots. Naturist Stuart Gilmour was 26ft up a ladder outside Maria Goodey's house in Middleton when the 'giggling' officer arrived.
"She pulled in and I thought 'well I'm not going to stay on the ladder so she has to get out of the car and look up at me, I'll come down the ladder and meet her at the bottom'. She got out giggling to herself and she said 'do you have any idea why I'm here?'. Maria agreed and he got to work on the three-bed detached house using masonry paint and a brush to transform the red tiles into a brown colour to match the window frames. At 2.30pm each day, the lorry driver donned a pair of tracksuit bottoms and a t-shirt so as not to alarm any kids or families at a nearby school who may pass by.
To spare the blushes of the cop looking upwards, Stuart came down the ladder to discover a policewoman at the bottom. Stuart says he explained that it's not illegal to be naked in public and he had Maria's permission to be nude, leaving the officer happy with the explanation. Despite feeling more comfortable in his birthday suit than regular clothes, Stuart said he's always mindful of respecting other people's beliefs. "I don't mind the police coming out, they've got to check up," he said.
