What really makes me mad is when women spray perfume on in a plane!!

I actually told someone off for doing it. stupidity!

Brut makes me sneeze and my eyes water!! I only have to be walking about 100 yards behind someone wearing it - this is outside - and I'm off!!

I can't walk through the perfume department in Debenhams, and can't go anywhere near shops selling pot pourri - it's sooo dusty.

Talking of smells, my Dad used to have really smelly socks, it drove my mum mad so one night she left them in my dads pillow case so he could get the waft all night long!!! Good old Mum!!

Whenever I smell Brut, It reminds me when my dad used to use it when I was a child...I used to take off the lid and have the odd sniff because then I thought it was nice.

Dont much like it now tho but it brings back memories :o))

Its funny how times change though, the name BRUT sounds like Brute...the name I would associate nowdays with a ugly violent man...back then it seemed to portray a giant sexy hunk of a man with muscles :o)))

Sat next to a man at the Theatre, the show was spoilt by the smell of BO, mixed with cigarette smoke smell, and just dirt.

I have sat next to highly perfumed people, and thought I had the flu coming on.

I can remember when we were young my OH had smelly feet, and I have often slung his socks out of the bedroom window!

Unfortunately my OH has lost his sense of smell completely, so he doesnt know when his socks are smelly.

He also puts his towel over the fireplace to dry it out and doesnt smelll when it is scorching. I am trying to put a stop to that practice.

Huia.
