One of my classmates left school at about 15 to start his career working in a huge industrial pig farm looking after 10s of thousands of pigs. He had money in his pockets when the rest of us had nothing. The smell of the pigs soaked into him right into his bones. He used to wash for about an hour then saturate himself with aftershave which was new out back then. But even before we arrived at the disco thr smell of the pigd was back out on him again as strong as ever. I learned a thing or two about women from observing him, women used to scatter away from him at first when he came near them because of the smell of them, but when he took out his fat wallet and started buying for them then they quickly were all over him and they couldnt smell the pigs of him any more!

I used to work in a newsagent in a poorer part of Reading when I was 15. This was 1989 when a packet of 20 B&H was £1.65 - I specifically remember the price.
Anyway, I think you can really gauge the smelliness of folk when working in a newsagent. Some stank to high heaven - things like sweat, wee and even perhaps poo and others smelt of other things which was harder to pin point. Other customers smelt of nothing and some smelled very nice.
Something I always noticed as well was their hands - some looked rough, others not. And some of the palms were very rough, some were as soft as silk - you get to feel that when taking money from people. Rough palms normally indicates a very hard manual worker.
Is this relevant to anything? Possibly not......but nevertheless, it's a discussion.

Irish travelling community (gypsy itinerants) are famous the world over for having a urine odour off them even when they are washed and clean, as most are these days as they dont work much. I,m not sure of the reason why this is.

I,m not sure of the reason why this is. Thing is, I think we should all be conscious of the fact that we all give off some smell most of the time. It is also how we attract our mates, apparently.
And sometimes, a smell that is deemed nice by one may not be deemed nice by another.

I supplemented my apprentice pay of £2 19s 8 pence by doing a paper round and feeding pigs for a couple blokes I knew,the smell that stuck to me was of the boiled up swill which was one of vomit,very hard to get rid of.I wasn't paid for doing this I was given a piglet which when fattened and sold I'd get the value of I didn't get that far as jacked it in after few weeks

I did a a quick stint at a poultry processing plant called Webbs, the smell was bad at first but after a week I couldn't smell it. Nicola made me quit because she said I stank even after a shower. It's the same as smokers, you all smell really nasty but you don't realise it...... I mean REALLY nasty

When I used to go clubbing and the club was full of thick cigarette smoke, god my shirt used to stink in the morning.....
I can't even describe the smell - but most of you will know it.
