I'm currently sat in a doctors small waiting room with three elderly ladies. The smell of strong perfume is giving me one hell of an headache would it be unkind to say less is more?

I think the sense of smell and taste does lessen as you get older. Just not sure where I read/saw that.Is that a joke? Lots of young women drench themselves in strong perfume, and young men do the same with Lynx, sometimes the results are truly overpowering.
That one started disappearing long ago....Memory starts to go as well I'm told.
Didn't say it was confined to the older generations! It certainly does apply to both the MiL over the 20+ years I've known her the aroma around her has increased., and my Mother too come to it. My wife actually commented on it a few days ago. It's an observation, nothing more. We all change with age. Personally I'm looking forward to growing up - my wife is looking forward to it too.Is that a joke?

Teenage son is now experimenting with booze - mostly it involves cider and bacardi and coke, there is currently some dark fruit Strongbow in the fridge awaiting the prodigals return. I was the same at his age but think the sweet sugary stuff he likes is vile. Bottled beers for me now and whiskey - which I could never stand in my 20'sI think the sense of smell and taste does lessen as you get older. Just not sure where I read/saw that.

My young colleagues are so paranoid folks on public transport can smell them (we work with food and drink) that the staffroom is like a fumigation chamber!Is that a joke?

Currently sat on a train next to an Ophelia, Helena or Caroline braying to her mates about her family chalet in St Moritz.
She stinks like a tarts boudoir and i can recognise at least 2 seperate perfumes and her hair ...... dont get me started !
