We are a scent free but sadly not nut free, nuts of any description. I can't abide the smell of peanut butter and people have the gall to eat it and then breathe out peanut butter breath.

I haven't come across a sniffer person, official or otherwise.

We are scent free workplace (it helps that I set the rules), perfumes for many (incl myself) trigger migraine. I have to leave a venue where there is a strong smell of perfume. For those with food allergies, I don't believe the smell of peanuts triggers and reaction and those with a reaction.

I do eat things at my desk that attract attention, soups, curries, hummous, people come and ask the recipes so I know they can smell the food. I half expect a call from the sniffer. I wonder if she volunteered for that role, it can't pleasant.

I hope not.

How else does one pass the day?

Would it work as well if it was Fullers ESB rather than London Porter ? Just askin' !

I have to wonder, does the sniffer person get involved when someone smells bad too?

I love perfumes, I don't like people that swim in them though. I see no harm in smelling nice.

If we had no scents and no drinking in my previous civil service job, I wouldn't have made it through the almost 15 years!

I wear perfume and the rest of you scent nazis can suck it.

Godwin!

Depends where you spray it.

I have only Pride. I have quite a lot of Pride though as the LCBO have discontinued it and I went on a tour of shops, snapping up whatever remained.

Oh, I feel for you. What's the reason they've discontinued it?

Who knows? It's the government, they do things on whim. I asked at the usual shop and the woman said "people buy several cans at once, we don't have the packaging". That's true, they do try and put 24 cans of beer in a paper bag on a rainy day, but they're equally useless at selling other beers. The LCBO website, btw, has an alternative product feature, the alternative to Pride offered is Colt 45.

The retail beer "monopoly" in Ontario nominally sells it but none of their shops have any, the customer service phone goes unanswered and email to them bounces. It is however sold in NY so whenever we next need building supplies I'll get beer too.

They got pissed off with the number of empty cans they had to deal with from Mr LCBDBDDO.

A fish-free zone in Newfoundland? Whatever next?

About a month ago I was in a pub in Calgary that sells London Pride on tap - when I ordered a pint the waitress said "it's not the normal London Pride, it's the maltier style."

I was intrigued, and asked what it was called. "London Pride, just maltier."

I got a pint, and don't know what it was - tasted more like Big Rock Traditional - but the waitress was adamant that it was just a different style of London Pride that they had in.

Philistines!
