A mate of mine (Wildplum) told me a story that he said was true about a boy in his class at school many many years ago.
The boy (Leroy) was from traveller/gypsy stock (Now I am not having a pop at anyone here. One of the kindest most generous blokes i ever met is a 'Traveller' His term not mine)
Back to the story:
Anyway none of the school kids wanted to sit next to Leroy in class because he and soap were not acquainted, this went on for weeks and the teacher found it difficult leaning over Leroy when helping him in class.
The school drafted a letter and sent to Mr & Mrs Grimes (Grimes is a made up name) about the hygiene of Leroy explaining that because of this problem Leroy was starting to be verbally bullied by the other children and even some of the staff were ostracising him because of his poor hygiene.
Mr Grimes wrote back saying ' Leroy is no rose, don't smell him, learn him' :eek
