Whatif wewin   10 #26 Posted December 21, 2008 It isn't any longer.  I would have thought that it was actually getting longer by the minute.  I did work with people,(long term enemployed) that were smelly, part of my job was to educate them into knowing about their body odour. The company started from Nottingham (Boots), used to give out free deodorants, this became too expensive for Sheffield when the freebies ran out. I blame the manufactures for keeping their product prices too high. May be with the credit crunch they will have a think on, and drop prices. If not we should kick up a stink.

Squiggs   11 #27 Posted December 21, 2008  Within 20 minutes of being on the bus, I myself absolutlty honked,  I assume you then got off the bus and walked the rest of the way, as you had become a smelly bus passenger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
shanes teeth   10 #28 Posted December 21, 2008 Perhaps they could make bus shelters in to kind of car wash things with revolving brushes and disinfectant sprays that you have to pass through before getting on the bus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Michael_W Â Â 11 #29 Posted December 21, 2008 Around 25 years ago, I worked at Laycock engineering company in Millhouses. An old, eccentric, employee, who never changed his clothes etc and consequently had odour issues, was allegedly barred from travel by a local bus company at the time, so had to walk to work and back from Dronfield every day.

Beebop   10 #32 Posted December 21, 2008 Perhaps this could be a solution......  At the airport, if you have something potetially illegall on you, the beeping thing goes like mad, and you get a security man asking you to undress, also if you try to walk out of a shop like Morrisons without paying, when you go past a barrier the beeper goes off, and the security man chases you.   SO MY IDEA !!!!   YOu go into the bus shelter, and if the smell is greater than 4 parts per million, a beeper goes off at the bus shelter, this could activate a security man armed with soapy water, soap, sponge and a bath on wheels. The security man, could then undress you, force you into the bath for a rub down.... bobs your uncle, no stinkers on the bus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
