hj dary   10 #27 Posted September 22, 2005 Me and the boy went to Graves Park in summer.  There was a falconry display there and the bloke doing it asked for some people to stand in two lines in the middle of the ring and hole hands with the person opposite to form a tunnel for the bird to fly down.  This was the point when I relised I was stood next to a bloke with a nylon footbal shirt on,half his teeth missing and who had never heard of deodorant.  So there we were with our arms in the air, Im looking at my little lad hoping he'd keep quiet, and he did but I was fully expecting ...."DAD HE STINKS"  ttfn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

timo   10 #29 Posted September 22, 2005 In India, the custom generally is to shower twice a day. Once in the morning, and once at night. An Indian colleague informs me that it would be 'quite impossible' to sleep without having showered in cool water, during the heat of the summer.  In the large English cities, the custom appears to be one shower/bath per month. I quite agree with the general consensus that the Sheffield working classes have become smellier, but their rank, polecat-like stench may be equally encountered amongst the flotsam and jetsam of other large English cities too. Sheffield has no monopoly upon pathetic ugliness either, which so often accompanies the foul aroma of decay and neglect. Liverpool, for example, has a general population that is 'international class' in terms of smelliness/ugliness. Pay a visit to the Saint John's [named after the patron saint of Incapacity Benefit] shopping centre in the city centre. There you will encounter in-bred, stenching, cursing, coughing, living cadavers in lycra who will make the riff raff of Sheffield look like landed gentry. Yes, the 'Damians' and 'Donna-Maries' have the edge in the 'unwashed' stakes over the 'Darrens' and 'Tracys'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

No? Didn't think so Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
timo   10 #36 Posted September 22, 2005 Abdul, Okay, I acknowledge that there are some 'classier' areas, such as Blundellsands and Lydiate to the north, and parts of Childwall and Mossley Hill to the south. I was exaggerating for comic effect. As you say, the city does have large numbers of 'scragheads', but there are some civilised enclaves. You are right, I am sometimes a little unfair to Liverpool.
