Personal hygiene and public transport

Many years ago..;)

I used to travel the boat train/boat bus route from Dublin to London.

This was in the "school years" for the most part."exotic trip" usually for contraband items such as .. fireworks,air guns and "gentlemens magazines".. all of which were illegal in Ireland at the time.



On one such very crowded boat/train trip. a buddy and myself managed to get 2 seats opposite a guy with a very bad foot odour problem.

There was a table between us and foot odour man for the trip from liverpool to london.Foot odour man commandeered the dual seat by sprawling across it.He also damn near cleared the seat opposite the table by removing his shoes and letting the air circulate around.



needs must..and we found ourselves opposite,trying to catch some sleep in between the athletes foot stench waves.

Just prior to arrival in London,while the passenger opposite was asleep and still emanating we used some BR shandy(from cans) to fill up his discarded for comfort n f everyone else footwear.

We moved far away towards the doors,but did hear satisfying howls of outrage.

Petty? perhaps,but on the next long train journey or similar some more thought about consideration for others may have occured.
