Personal HygieneThere comes a point at which your hygiene becomes less your problem and more everyone else's:
My old school nurse never seemed to wash - instead she wrapped herself in crepe bandages from the first aid kits. The smell was beyond pungent. If you got ill at school, it was better to suffer than try and explain symptoms whilst only breathing out.
When she was eventually 'let go',they had to strip the wallpaper in her office to get rid of the lingering odour.
How scuzzy have you got? Or, failing that, how bad have people you know got?

soapy streamsWhen I were but a small child every sunday after dinner my mum, instead of letting me do small child things, used to make me go for a walk with her.
Anyway 1 of the routes we used to take involved going through the grounds of the local mental hospital which had a brook running through it.
As it was a really hot sunny day she decided to let me paddle in this brook whilst she sat dabbling her feet.
After a while we hear voices and as we look around we see a family which we shall call the Smiths as that was their name approching a little bit upstream, stop then they all start stripping off compleatly and getting in this brook.
Mum shouts at me to get out and as I do they get the soap out and start washing.
The mother, father and all 8 kids.
The water was a really nasty scummy brown colour after and im pretty sure most of it wasn't down to the fact they disturbed the bottom as it was gravel lined and stayed clear no matter how many kids used to splash around in it.
