IF I STAND UP, THE ENTIRE STREET CAN SEE ME

CHloe SHaRRatt, 26, is a driving instructor from Pontefract, west Yorkshire. She has a four-year-old daughter, Rydel. Chloe says: I BOUGHT my house three years ago. From day one I created a garden exactly to my liking with outdoor furniture and a hot tub. After I’ve finished work I love to get outside and take advantage of the last of the evening sun.

I sunbathe in the nude and I get into my hot tub naked, too. My garden slopes in such a way that when I stand up the whole street can see in. My next-door neighbour’s back bedroom looks out across my whole garden. The people who live opposite have a study window that faces my tub.

I’m friends with all of my neighbours, but I honestly have no idea if any of them have seen me nude.

It genuinely doesn’t bother me. I suspect I’m lucky to have the neighbours I have, including a

young couple with a baby and two sisters who work shifts. It’s not that I am an exhibitionist. I’ll walk around my house nude, too.

The body isn’t something to be ashamed of. I want my daughter to grow up feeling body-confident, too.

SHift worker Judith Sgarbi, 62, is single and lives next door but one to chloe. Judith says: IF YOU wanted to spy on Chloe, you’d have to stay in your bedroom all day and peep out the window. I really don’t think anyone around here is that way inclined.

Sunbathing without any clothes on isn’t for me.

Yet I do appreciate that the younger generation are much more uninhibited than we were at their age.

So as far as I’m concerned, go ahead Chloe. I’m just not interested.
