An elderly naturist couple have brought their local adult education college to a tribunal citing discrimination after they were barred from attending a Chinese cookery class unless they agreed to wear clothing.
Brian Buff, 86, and his wife Sheila, 84, say they were "humiliated" when the tutor explained that students were expected to wear aprons and sensible clothing when cooking with woks full of boiling oil.
'We're victims of naked prejudice,' said Brian. 'People hear the word "naturist" and immediately assume we're going to end up with third-degree burns to our tackle.'
"Well...," replied tutor Angela Roberts, "yes."
The couple went on to insist they have been preparing food while naked for decades without incident
'That's because you've mainly been making fishpaste and beetroot sandwiches,' said Roberts, before the chair of the committee adjourned the hearing for the weekend.
The case continues next week.
