Discussion
Prompted by a discussion yesterday about one of our old colleagues who used to take a bath once a month when he visited his parents….
He lived in a bed sit, without access to a shower or bath…. It was only towards the end of the month when he would really start to whiff…
So how often do you bathe?

In my youth I once lived in a place that was being done up and had no shower or bath for a few months. The rent was indescribably cheap!
I used to stand in a plastic basin of warm water put down on the floor where the bath was going to be and wash top to toe, plenty of soap. Fresh basin of water to wash my hair.
Daily, of course...
So I went two months without a shower or a bath and never whiffed once. You can do it if you REALLY have to!

have a shower probably 3 or 4 times a day, but then you do tend to have betty swollocks when its always mid 30's celcius and 90% humidity!!
Singapore! what a wonderfull part of the globe, and having been there, (cant remember what time of the year), were just about damp all day with the humidity......Back to the post, bath maybe 3 or 4 times a year, shower daily, only takes 3 mins, much less water wastage.
Just part of the routine of getting up and ready for work, surely? Otherwise you just feel skaggy... but maybe thats the point - if you don't have a shower every day, then after a while your body gets used to it, and your body gets back to its natural rythmn with natural body oils etc... but once a month is taking the michael.
And XJSJohn - not suprised. Singapore was the only place I've been where you could feel the sweat rolling down your back 2 seconds after leaving an air conditioned building. Bloody horrible.

Phumy, Singapore has very strict laws about how free i am alowed to let my swollocks go (unless I am in Geylang, Joo Chiat or Four Floors and then they can be basically off the leash!!!!;) )
Someone has this mentioned earlier.... but we are now utterly conditioned to believe that we need to continually scrub ourselves raw, strip our bodies of all their natural oils and protection, apply artifical scents and then apply moisturiser to replace what we've just scrubbed off.
Crazy.
