Yet...
Great Britain is known world wide for its Victorian Prudery.

|
Our culture is unique; we are branded with a smutty sense of humor and we display a fascination for nudity in newspapers and magazines. Yet at the same time we are uncomfortable with exposure in even the most natural of settings. Take for example a new mother that nurses her infant in public. The British reaction of embarrassment moves the 'offender' to feel self-conscious, and in future to feed out of sight for the sake of 'decency'. |
How did we come to develop such attitudes? Through this book you will discover just how dramatically the culture of our nation has changed, and how we have subtly influenced the customs of other peoples. It exposes the real reason for the prejudice we show towards swimming in the great outdoors and in the first chapter you will see how the attitudes of our nation have transformed beyond recognition in the last hundred years. The revelations contained herein will show how and why the British people, once proud of their swimming heritage, developed their prejudice towards swimmers.
