A nudist was kicked out of a Wetherspoon's after he bent over to pick up a poppadom and “accidentally exposed his bum” to a teenage girl.
Richard Collins visited the budget boozer in Hastings, East Sussex on October 8 for dinner and was clothed, despite being a nudist. He was sporting a sweatshirt, hoodie, and a short skirt, but was not wearing underwear.
The 67-year-old ordered his dinner at the bar, then noticed a poppadom on his seat so he bent over to “flick it off”, and claimed to be unaware of the mum and child who saw his behind as he did so. He was then asked to leave by the manager, who said he was bending over without underwear – a move Richard has blasted as discriminatory

Richard blames the mum and child for not “averting their eyes” and for looking up his skirt.
In a post on Facebook, he said: “If you or your child look up someone's skirt then don't complain if you don't like what you see! Avert your eyes!”. Richard claims to be a regular at The John Logie Baird pub, visiting up to four times a week over the last decade.
He said the recent ordeal “spoiled an otherwise lovely day of naked cycling, sunbathing and swimming”. He said: "I was quite unhappy being asked to leave. I thought that was a bit extreme. The manager could have just said, 'We just had a complaint, could you be a bit more careful and not bend over'."
Wetherspoons said that they stand by the pub manager's decision. The firm say they ask “all customers to dress appropriately and, more specifically, in a way which would not cause offence to employees or other customers”.

Despite being no stranger to uproar over his public nudity, Richard claims most people have no problem with his choice to be naked.
Richard said: "Most people aren't bothered. It's all about fun and freedom. It's just a body. I'm used to being naked in public as I've been a naturist for 40 years."
A Wetherspoons spokesperson said: "In accordance with our dress policy, we ask all our customers to dress appropriately and, more specifically, in a way which would not cause offence to employees or other customers The pub's management, quite rightly, did not consider that Mr Collins was dressed in such a manner.
"Mr Collins is of course more than welcome in all our pubs, should he choose to adhere to our dress policy. We do not consider that there has been any breach of the Equality Act."
