HERE we go again, a spell of hot weather and the ‘fashionistas’ of Runcorn decide to abandon all normal rules of decency.

No we don’t want to see your wobbly tummies, we don’t want to have piercings and tattoos flaunted in our face, and we don’t want men’s naked torsos rubbing against us in the fruit and veg aisle of the Asda.

I don’t think I’m asking for a lot, certainly not catwalk couture.

But what I think we do have every right to expect is decent hygiene – yes, even in hot weather a bit of soap and water and a spray of deodorant can work wonders.

So if like the meteorologists predict and a heatwave returns later this month, please have a quick sniff and a quick glance in the mirror before leaving your house for the shops.

DISGRUNTLED SHOPPER, Sandymoor
