That's interesting. Fresh milk, I hope! Japanese eat a lot of fish. Enough said!

Modern Japanese have a much more Western style diet now. Loads of McDonald's there as well, as they eat whale and dolphin meat. Much more heart disease there.

When I worked in a large London hotel over forty years ago I was always wary about going into newly vacated Japanese people’s rooms only because some of them ate wasabi snacks and the smell of it was overpowering.At least I think it was that.Nice people though lol.
I think of lavender,4711 and Tweed,as worn by nan,as old person's smell,not a nasty smell,more a smell/scent rare these days.
Ew! I know nose blind is a thing but how can people not smell themselves?
We had a local family well-known for their lack of personal hygiene turn up at the local hospital I worked in when the mother needed an ultrasound scan. A transvaginal scan. The stink in the corridor with her unwashed (ever by the smell) was bad enough but when she dropped her drawers the smell was so disgusting we had to leave the room. The head of department poked her head around the door and asked her to get dressed then told her very firmly that we were unable to carry out any procedure until she returned after having a bath.
It's really sad that some people still don't consider personal hygiene to be important. Not just for the sake of others but for the sake of their own health.

And by that analogy the Japanese eat a lot of fishy sushi, so..........
I could never do the job of beauty therapists who wax that area.
The woman in question had psychological problems, to be sure. The head of the department should have spoken to her privately, imo, and not addressed her so rudely in front of other people. She must have been able to offer the woman some free hygiene products.
I thought everybody had left the room ??
The dept head should gave kept her voice down, so nobody could overhear. I feel sad for the patient. How did it all work out I wonder.

The woman is terrified of being cancelled. One word wrong and the Trans followers cancel you. Strangely, at this rate, there will be 3 people left in the world not cancelled.

I’m 68 and remember when I started to work for a bank in 1974 that when a man married he was promoted. When a woman married it was assumed by personnel that she would want to leave to start a family. Women couldn’t wear trousers, always had to wear tights even in summer.
Where I worked was a back office, we never saw any customers.
The world has gone mad!! No sense of reason in so much now!
It's mind boggling!

When I hear that one person has said "we can't say that anymore" I always think "who put you in charge?"
That comment may be offensive to men who identify as women who have never given birth
And I identify as a dog. Actually a cartoon dog who sniggered a lot and was the sidekick to
Dick Dastardly and took part in Wacky Races
I used to go to school with a girl from a family like that. They all stank, she had matted hair and they just didn't care, even though nobody would go near them.
I'm in favour of rights for trans people, except when their rights affect my rights as a female if for example they're allowed into female only changing rooms. We've fought long and hard to get where we are today and our rights mustn't be diminished.The woman is terrified of being cancelled. One word wrong and the Trans followers cancel you.

I remember in the late 1960's I was with my boyfriend,now hubby, in C&A. He was getting some jeans or trousers and went to try them on. I went to wait outside the changing rooms and was told that ,apparently ,men didn't like ladies in the vicinity.
She went on to say but we girls didn't mind our men waiting outside the ladies changing rooms for their other halves.
I had to laugh at the absurdity of it.
How heartbreaking for those children. They had no choice since their parents were incapable of caring for them. What kind of school was that where the teachers or head teacher did nothing?

The school was a large comprehensive in inner London in the late 70s early 80s. I was never aware of teachers getting involved in things like that. I often wonder what happened to them and whether she was able to make anything of her life. What makes it worse was that she had over 10 siblings. She wasn't a nice girl and I think she would have been a bully but I don't remember her having any friends to back her up, it was a very long time ago and my memories of that time isn't that great.
