stinking people

Have you ever had to stand next to someone whose stench is making you retch ?

I was just in a shop in Burnage. Tesco don't sell simple things like cornmeal (polenta) for some reason so I remembered there's a shop just down the road that sells all sorts of grains and ingredients in bags. There it was 1.5Kg for about a pound. Happy days.

When I got to the till I asked the lad if they had any cinnamon. He went off to have a look and then 2 middle aged women arrived at the till going on about scratchcards. One of them had crusty vomit on the lapel of her sports jacket, really greasy hair and had a face redder than Alex Ferguson. The other woman was smartly dressed and smiled at me like I was in their conversation about scratch cards. Anyway, the hum from the first woman was making my eyes water.

It was all full of 'off', dregs from bottles gone bad, off urine, stale vomit. rancid, really wrong.

I wanted to run out the shop but had to wait for the lad to come back with the cinnamon so I was literally dry retching while I stood there. Out of politeness I was trying to pretend I had a cough.

Thats the 2nd time i've been near someone like that. The first time was in a charity shop in warrington and that time I did run out the shop.
