Thongs? maybe even the odd... 'mankini' in the top drawer?
I was thinking, what a set of wusses...
...then I realised I've become one?
For years,paint/turps/whatever, hasn't bothered me..now it does (44 age).
If I'm spray painting etc it now has to be well ventilated...didn't bother in the past much,just got on with it,Yorkshire/Aussie/etc mentality, (ie,sod it,just go for it

)
Maybe it's an age thing,or recentish products?
Painting (glossing) the house interiour became unbearable..nautious,near migrane inducing,uninhabitable...
...so now we buy the low odour stuff/paint, (thought it was a con/fad at first)..but it really is worth the extra couple of quid..and that's from a Yorkshire man!
