On Sunday 3rd 1967, the driving side rule of Sweden switched from left hand side to the right hand side. It was called Dagen H (H day). H stands for “Högertrafik” meaning right side in Swedish.

10 Photo of real Christopher Robin with Winnie-the-Pooh in 1927
You must have seen Disney’s Winnie-the-Pooh books, shows, and movies. But do you know that they were inspired by real person?
A.A. Milne’s (author of Winnie-the-Pooh stories) son, Christopher Robin Milne, had a teddy bear named Winnie. Pooh is the name of a swan which they meet on holidays. While thinking of characters for his stories, his son along with the teddy bear inspired him to create Winnie-the-Pooh character.
His son also appears in his stories simply as Christopher Robin. Other toys owned by Christopher such as Piglet, Tigger, Kanga, Roo, Eeyore were also included in the story collectively which you now know as Winnie the Pooh show.(source)

Now there is almost no restrictions on what you wear during your beach time (mostly in the western countries).
But this was not always the case. Back in the old days too there was a minimum requirement for the length of the swimsuits, which of course declined gradually. Not only women, topless men were also not allowed in certain beaches.
