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?

three words for anyone who went to Bangor Uni...John Morris Jones
For the uninitiated - no not a person but an entire halls of residence which had a very bizarre and distinctive stench that pervaded the actual building and all its contents including the students, their clothes and all their belongings, thus rendering all its inhabitants instantly identifiable.
Nobody knew what caused it either but it smelt a bit like TCP only with something dead in it. We used to have to go there for Sunday lunch when I was a wee first year in catered halls and the smell would make your eyes water (mind you that was just the food...).
My friend Beth has got a dictionary that still smells of it even though she was only there for a term and she left over 10 years ago.
Not exactly personal, but more of a collective hygiene issue.
