Interesting how we have strayed slightly from clothing.

One of Lisa's bugbears in crowded places (hotel lifts especially) is people who reek of perfume - as it gives her a headache for the whole evening. Can't say I'm a great lover of false smells either, actually preferring the aroma of alcoholic breath which we get on some of our train services in the evening to an overbearing perfume. Are we alone in this dislike of products which are sold to attract?

In deference to your good lady, and with reference to my earlier post on this subject, I will leave out the Chanel No 5 and just wear a smile

I can wholeheartedly agree with Lisa a good friend of mine wears a perfume called Poison which is probably the most unpleasant scent known to man ! the only other bugbear I have is when Her Ladyship Mrs WP insists that I accompany her shopping at Christmass and we enter any number of department stores where my olfactory senses are assaulted by the fog of many perfumes that seem to be airborne at any one time
It's probably best we don't get me started on scented candles Huh

Some of our Coffee Shop forum's members with long memories (or possibly guilty consciences) may recall this previous topic:

William Huskisson MP^▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.
