Streaking - the 1974 fashion of running naked from one point to another- has been variously attributed to "dares" means of raising money for charity, simple exhibitionism, or the more complex motives beloved of psychiatrists.

The press loved the streaking phenomenon since it proved an excuse, if any were needed, to supply pleasantly titillating copy and to print nude pictures.

The "Daily Mirror" (18/3/74) had the happy distinction of being the first large-circulation newspaper internationally to show us an active streaker on its front page. An attractive blonde streaker called Sally is shown pinned against the wall by a London policeman.
