Cows to naked marathon running in 5 posts, only with the FRA. I may have posted this before, if so, apologies.

The Germans love their FKK and, whilst living in Berlin for 3 years in the 80s, there was a lake in the Gruenewald where the Germans would sunbathe naked. This included the queue for the ice cream and hamburger van. It was surprising how often our cross country team 7 mile run took in a lap of the Teufelsee during the summer months.

The Berlin marathon in those days of the Wall used to finish on the Ku'damm. One year I was wearily having a post-race shower in a large Army tent in the street when a German woman popped in and joined me in the hot water. 'Hallo', she said, 'Und how was it for you?' I didn't know where to put myself.
