Woman in Hull takes on 'semi-clothed' and 'semi-sober' sun worshippers

A woman has taken on men and women who decide to strip off as soon as the sun comes out.

Margaret wrote into Hull Live to complain about the "race to ditch shorts" as soon as the temperatures increase. 

Temperatures went into the thirties last week and Margaret decided enough was enough. 

She has taken on topless men, women with less clothes on, loud radios and even people licking lollies in public.

She believes that kind of behaviour should be reserved for the beach, park or private gardens – but do you agree?

Read Margaret’s letter in full:

“What a disgusting sight it is to see the semi-clothed, semi-sober and probably, semi-retired folk swarm our streets as soon as the sun comes out.

“I used to enjoy an ice cream and a paddle as much as the next person when I was a little girl. But it was a treat reserved for the beach at Brid, or once a year on a trip to Margate to see my father’s family.

“Now, the moment the clouds break for half an afternoon there seems to be a race to ditch shirts, turn radios to full volume and start licking at lollies and panting up and down the high street.

“I’m all for staying cool and enjoying the fine weather, but who really wants to see burned bodies and lolling tongues when they have popped into town for a bit of shopping?

“Men going topless is different to ladies but shouldn’t there be a ruling that says it is just for the beach, park or private garden?”
