Fragrant breach

Many years ago I had a friend who did DJ work and hosted karaoke nights. He was ideally suited for the work as he was great with the patter.

By day he was a collector for Provident or a similar finance company in some of the less select parts of Glasgow and Paisley.

“Man you should have seen this place – it was that boggin’ you had to wipe your feet on the way out! Just as well the carpet was absorbent or I’d have needed a wet suit to get to the living room…………..and the smell? Phew!…… They kept a pig in the corner as an air freshener!”

I recalled the story yesterday and it still made me chuckle.
