England, my England

In a Guardian article, Simon Hattenstone looks back at the phenomenon of streaking, and meets some former streakers:

McGlade, now 60, was wearing black seamed stockings and suspenders with red and white ribbons (Middlesbrough's colours) around his privates when he climbed the barriers and jumped on to the pitch. "I had 'Save Redcar Baths' on my chest and 'Fiona I am sorry' on my back and I was carrying this yellow space hopper on the pitch."


Why am I not surprised that Fiona was unmoved, and that the demolition of Redcar baths went ahead? But Bass Brewery, whose promotional competition was the reason for the space hopper, gave him full marks for effort and a VIP trip to Disney World.
