Now that is interesting Steve... I have adverse reactions to any atmospheric pollution and to boot I have a hyperactive sense of smell...myglaren wrote:It's strange Jim - you have seen how I react to fag smoke and perfume/deodorant/aftershave and even fabric conditioner but efags have no effect whatsoever.

Wonder though if I'm the only one of us who would consider* the use of main beam as a form of "payback" 
) No, generally two wrongs don't make a right but I disobeyed my own advice this morning when a car driver behind me on my bike kept beeping at me to get out of his way - he was unable to pass due to heavy oncoming traffic and his need to get wherever he was going was clearly of greater priority than mine. As if beeping at me would either make me give way or somehow go as fast as he desired...ekjdm14 wrote:Not just me thenStickyfinger wrote:agree 100%....that and sitting at light with your foot on the brake
KFC, MaccyD's, Burgler King and the like want to make me throw up every time I'm in the vicinity of them. They smell disgusting... Needless to say I never patronise them unless I'm desperate. And then I regret it.myglaren wrote:I seem to have an increased sensitivity to smells but selective, some things pass me by completely but for instance I can always tell what is on the menu at the Komatsu factory about a quarter of a mile from where I work (indoors). Always Pizza on Thursday and they had Christmas pudding on the menu last week
100% with you there! The only time I ever use them is when there is no other option on a long journey. I go for the 'healthier' choices but I doubt it makes much difference! Mates always groan when they are gorging themselves on this muck and I make a comment about poisoning themselves!CitroJim wrote:

) I noticed that last time I went to Banbury James and it reminds me of when I used to visit Banbury as a little child... It was just the same then except the factory was called General Foods...Hell Razor5543 wrote: If the wind is in the right direction I can tell when I am close to Banbury. The Kraft factory there (near to the large Tesco store) produces Kenco coffee, and it can be smelt from miles away.
So Pizza Hut still has poor hygiene!! That's amazing because there was a documentary about 10 years ago highlighting just how bad they were! Concealed camera's even showed staff members gobbing into food when a customer complained!Hell Razor5543 wrote:In previous jobs (I am an EPoS engineer) I got to see behind the scenes at a few food outlets. I now would not go to Pizza Hut, I would have no problems with TFI Fridays, and (if I didn't have an issue with the prices) I would be more than happy with KFC (every branch I visited had very clean kitchens (OK, sometimes a bit of dirt, but that would be from that day, and cleaned up quickly)), as the proper KFC branches (and some franchises) had a timing system. As soon as anything went into the cooking process it was on a clock. Any that was still on the shelves when its' clock ran out was binned (certainly NOT reheated), as they took bacteria seriously.

The vegetable that is... I barely cook it either, just pour boiling water over it...
