Here the Guardian reports on one of the unexpected outcomes (oh, how we consultants love 'unexpected outcomes') of Poland and other countries further east joining the Schengen zone.
Germans are prone (in more ways than one) to sunbathe in the nude. I spent some childhood holidays in a place where people did this. Not entirely sure why - it did not really fit in with other aspects of my childhood, and the North Sea and its beaches are not that hot. But at least I learnt something about human differences.....
Now it seems that Polish people, out for a stroll, also learn about these differences. And they are shocked! So are the Germans for whom it is, apparently, inconceivable that people in clothes should go on a nudist beach and look at the people innocently besporting themselves, as my friend Adrian might have said.
