Have read elsewhere that nudity inks generally legal in the UK. Do any of UK members routinely shop nude? Or is it more like topless women in New York? Legal but extremely rare?

Shopping nude or any urban nudity is legal in the UK but extremely rare. Any occurrence would probably invoke police attendance to ensure that the naked person was a nudist who was not causing an affray and not a sexual exhibitionist or somebody with mental health problems.
Most public nudity in the UK involves walking or cycling in the countryside and wild swimming. The police do not usually attend if a member of the public who is not aware of the law contacts them.

The thing to remember shops will be private property so very unlikely to be covered by nudity laws so it will be their rights to ask you to cover up or leave.
Seems to me that, in democratic nations at least, if public nudity was legal, then it would have been made legal by the legislature which represents the people. Therefore, if it had been made legal, it would have been the people who OKed it. That being the case, I would be nude everywhere all the time - grocery shopping, the bank, getting a hair cut - everywhere. In such a situation, the public has made it legal, so it is the same people who need to accept it.
It is my understanding that in the states of California, Oregon, Washington and Vermont, public nudity is legal with certain localities within those states having their own laws which over-ride the state laws. Does anyone know the specific laws in these states?
