I?m hoping this is just a one-off Seven Oaks thing, but today I had an 80?s perfume flashback.


We went to a restaurant, it was Mother?s Day so all the Mum?s were rightly being taken care of. However, there was one lady who just as I started on my prawn cocktail, came in with her family and sat down close to our table.


I took one mouthful and then it hit me. The waft of perfume from the new people next to us, which I recognised straight away as Georgio Beverley Hills. That stuff was banned in cinemas, restaurants and god knows where else and for good reason. It?s bloody awful.


To top it all the lady went of to powder her nose, taking her huge handbag with her and returned in an even greater cloud of the guffing stuff she bought in previously. So I moved seat, but the toxic cloud had got the better of me and far away wasn?t far enough, so we skipped dessert and spilt from the restaurant.

I did mention it to the manager, who drily said ?Oh that stuff, Drag Queens in the 90?s used to wear that?


I?m advocating a renewed ban on such things, along with Jeyes Fluid at Seven Oaks station (Seven Oaks has a lot to answer for IMHO)



I hope I have your support.

Oh dear, I think I must have over-sprayed my Opium perfume today. It was one of my dear Mum's favourites and I wear it a lot in memory of her, especially on Mother's Day.


Was in a restaurant today and there was nobody on either side so it was lovely.


Bring back the 70s/80s/90s/ perfumes!

I used to use Patchouli Oil back in the 70's which one of my workmates took exception to.


"Young Man there is a strange smell that sees to follow you around" this guy used to say.


I also broke a small bottle of Patchouli Oil in my car.

The Police on more than one occassion spent some considerable amount time serching my car when they stopped me.

Perfume is a huge issue for those of us with lung problems; I am also allergic to it on my skin. Massive wheals quickly appear. I sometimes have to move away from people on a bus who have been too liberal with it (after shave too!) and only on a few occasions when they've given me a dirty look I have had to say why.

    • This year it was Pfizer. Last year was Moderna and I was quite  ill after it for the first time. I think last year was the only time I have had Moderna, but the illness may have been nothing to do with what kind of jab it was, I don't know. I have no idea whether everyone gets the same one in any particular year, but I'm sure someone else on here will know! 
    • Thanks for posting this JMK we have had 3 children at Charter East so have been involved with the school from the very early days and have watched the impact of inconsistent, unsupportive and at worst unprofessional and biased management on them over the years. Individual teachers have at times been great and as JMK says it is the overall structure that creates a toxic and punitive atmosphere which directly impacts some families more than others and these are the kids overwhelmingly that have an SEN.  The experience of these families is night and day compared with the families with children that can cope in this system.  
    • Another recommendation for Lukasz, he sorted out our bifold door. He came at the agreed time, found the issue very quickly, adjusted it, all very carefully and with attention to detail. And he was very reasonably priced as well. 
    • Well sure someone will correct me but years ago, in Singapore and I was quite young so not sure if it is true. but if you were caught stealing, your little finger or just the  tip part with nail was chopped off.  Stigma for  life as all know that was punishment for stealing… no questions asked.Totally agree it is barbaric but equally putting people  into overcrowded prison for minor offences is also not right. Tagging I guess would not work or maybe does… no idea at all.  Not so long ago, heard a talk about how European’s cope/deal with prisoners and how the suggest rate is higher and offences lowered greatly as in not going back to prison for same  or another offence.  The general gist was their approach was each prisoner mattered , was heard and listens to and a suitable package was tailored towards their needs. Not  b one package for all. Not cooped up for the majority of the day - encouraged as an example to cook, garden, grow food, other household stuff  plus study if wanted for courses, languages etc. and mental health, dependency on substance abuse also addressed. Can’t remember if they were paid c pocket money which clearly accumulated or could be used to  I purchase whatever in prison. If they can do it by experimenting and I think but not sure, at the time an English prison was learning why can’t this sort of program be rolled  out throughout UK - cut backs not an excuse - think of the millions lost by govt during Covid…  Maybe it is - no experience in the matter at all.
