Halibut   12 #13 Posted August 11, 2009 Has anyone else noticed that the smelliest people on public transport are normally asylum seekers? I know that in different cultures they don't have access to clean water as often as we do, but what's their excuse once they're over here?  How can you tell their immigration status just by looking at them? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Are you going to apologise for calling me a racist earlier or are you going to pretend you never said it after our posts got deleted?

Jillybabes   10 #18 Posted August 11, 2009 Now now folks its not worth getting into an argument, its each to their own I say if people want to shower everyday then thats ok, every other day like me then thats fine too, once a week might be pushing it but you should freshen up in between, if you think you stink then odds on others will think so too.

horribleblob   213 #19 Posted August 11, 2009 And very very very very wasteful, when I was a kid Sunday night was bath time and that was your lot.  Yes, and even then in the same water your mam, dad and siblings had already used ...in the tin tub in front of the fire.

luybell   10 #21 Posted August 12, 2009 The Sunday night bath routine, lol! We all used to get chucked in together (3 of us). My kids still love going in the bath together although bathroom tends to get very waterlogged. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

EdnaKrabappe   14 #23 Posted August 12, 2009 I really don't like not getting washed, it's something i don't like to scrimp on and I'm a right bath additive junkie... at the moment i've got a leak (plumber been and coming back tomorrow) and so i can't have a proper bath so i'm having a quick shower the last couple of days and i hate not being able to take my time!  I remember bath nights and that feeling of your hair needing washing but we all used to get washed in Vosene and imperial leather then so were 'antiseptic'ed up to the eyeballs anyway. If you used matey, you were posh. However if we were "mucky" you'd have a bath as well but i did have a friend who it didn't matter how dirty she got, if it wasn't bath night, she wasn't having one!

Aries22   10 #24 Posted August 12, 2009 When I was a child, it was still usual to have a bath only once a week. The rest of the time, you had what my mum called a strip wash at the sink. It's much easier these days, with showers, you just hop in and turn it on. But I think people who get hysterical if others don't shower/bath every day are plain daft. You don't end up stinking like a cess pit if you miss a day.   My mum lived by that rule, till she died in 1990. It was how they lived in her generation, with the prices of gas and leccy ever rising, we may have to go back to the olden days.
