exactly. the 'spa etiquette' does not respect the baths or the intention to relax and simply get out of the world of paranoia about people around you.

Again, not enough understanding of true bath etiquette.

In Copenhagen, there is a sauna in a sport centre where you are told to be naked in the interest of hygiene and also that any indecent exposure will be reported to the police. If however we were somewhere much further away than a neighbouring European country, the oppressive cover up idea might be the norm - but we are not. This is London.

'at present the spa etiquette is there to be
