Bodyshop soaps are great; cherry & satsuma especially. Like showering with Opal Fruits (Starburst for younger readers). So a daily shower is a pleasure.

Learn more about Bill "Tug Boat Willy" Burgess and how he got the nickname "Tug Boat Willy." Also, you will learn more about his family, his past, and what his plans are for the future. Get to know him and see why he has a whole style of his own..........

Well! However did he get the name "Tug Boat Willy" I wonder?

Could it be because his entire life seems to revolve around f**cking tug boats?

Love the family pic...

Zeit - when I were a student in Brum I ran a bath, went out and got some clothes, came back and thought someone had pissed in my bath it was so yellow.

Fine stuff... guess wot I use...

Me too. But although it looks and smells the same as it always has, it's only a shadow of its former self.

Exactly, and a lot of those Yorkshire folk who don't shower every day are pensioners who (a) Don't tend to exert themselves much physically, (b) have to watch the eleccy bills, and (c) Aren't always aware that today's soap is *far* weaker than it used to be (so the soap companies can sell deodorant, and more soap come to that).

Try having a bath or shower every day using soap from 1920 say, and you really would end up with skin problems - It was like caked washing powder in those days. (Soap powder used to be called soap flakes, because that's what it was.)

Spot on, Apples vs Oranges again in the media! It's an age thing. Most people in London are young/professionals and few 70+ somethings who were brought up without central heating and a bath once a week was the norm.

Lack of bathing isn't as bad as spitting - especially in the light of Swine Flu.

All over the country - locals as well as foreigners - are discharging their phlegm over various pavements. And that's just the women!

As for the lack of handkerchiefs, what's with folks sneezing into their hands, wiping it on their clothes and carrying on as if nowt's happened.

Do some people actually know what serviettes are for when eating out?

Happy phlegmming.....
