Why is it you can't smoke anywhere but shops can pump that soapy stink into the high street?  cussing:

Are you talking about Lush?

I know Wenchy has mentioned them and likes their products, but I can't go within 30m of one. My bloody chest tightens and I start wheezing, god knows what it's like for the staff when they open the doors each morning

I dunno... there were several in Windsor... a thick, clinging odour oozing out onto the street to attack your bronchials like...  noooo:

As you say, the stench in the morning must be even worse and the staff must smell like a whore's handbag by the time they get home.

Many moons ago Mrs JOM use to work for Estee Lauder at a Debenhams store. Mid one morning she'd had enough of the usual (earworm alert) Slade/Wizzard/Shakin' Stevens type stuff and put an INXS tape on. Customers actually passed comment to others how nice it was to hear something other than the usual Christmas fare
