"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

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

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.

Stuart Gilmour, 43, says he has 'saved a fortune' in clothes and energy bills, as well as feeling better in himself and his body image due to his unconventional habits.

He even goes to his local pub completely naked, saying he 'loves being able to experience everyday life without the restrictions of clothing' - and claims the lack of clothing is a 'conversation starter'. READ MORE: Stuart said that he was comfortable being naked from a very young age but it wasn't until 2014 when he was in his mid 30s that he actually discovered naturism.

He said: "I used to go on holiday with my parents and say to them when I was about 16-17, 'I'm going off'. "I'd do some rock climbing but then I'd just find a quiet spot where nobody was about, take my clothes off and sunbathe for a few hours, get dressed and then come back." 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.
