*chuckle* People are so much less odoriferous today than they were when I was a kid! The idea of a deodorant for men was unheard of, so every man either smelt like BO or BO + cologne/aftershave. Women wore truly toxic concentrations of perfume to deodorise themselves, and that was still ineffective at 'that time' of the month. If you think it's bad now, fifty or more years ago, you would absolutely choke in a public place!
