[Margaret Pilkington]

We go by bus to Bury every nearly every Saturday......there is a chap who gets on the bus near Gaskells underlay factory. He is a man in his late forties/early fifties......he really stinks.
He looks unkempt with greasy looking hair and jacket.
No-one tells him, but people do move away from him.

Last week he came and sat in the seat right in front of us...himself got up and loudly said I'm not sitting here with that smelly fellow(or words to that effect with some expletives in).......and we both moved to the front of the bus.
I do not know how this man cannot be aware that he reeks, because this happens every week(though most people do not make loud comments about the reason they are moving).
I have even seen ladies using body sprays to freshen the air around themselves.
Me......well, I have a compact of solid perfume in my bag for such eventualities.....a little of this smeared under my nose, and I can't smell him at all.
