The Bog of Eternal Stench

Judging by the clinging stink of Nigel this must be where he lives. Nigel is one of the Llanffuglen drunks and Mr Bill has met him several times recently. Earlier in the week they had to pick him up out of the gutter after a well-meaning member of the public was concerned and dialled 999. Later Mr Bill found him again when Nigel had fallen off a bench and this time he was hurt with blood dripping from a nasty cut on his nose so an ambulance was called and the paramedics very reluctantly agreed to take him to hospital. Mr Bill and his tutor assisted with lifting Nigel into the ambulance – and he is no feather weight. He also has the most appalling odour; Mr Bill said it is the worst smell he has ever experienced. The hospital patched Nigel up, gave him a power washing, some clean clothes and left him to have a sleep; unfortunately when they woke him to check his vitals he was not pleased and after some verbal abuse he departed back to the town. Today Mr Bill had a call a drunk was refusing to leave a local grocery shop; it was none other than Nigel again. He was not happy the staff refused to sell him any alcohol. They were also keen to have him leave as he was again stinking.

From what Mr Bill said stinking probably only begins to describe the nasal experience that is Nigel.

We get those in Asda where I work!!
Some just reek and you want to ask them if they want some soap (and water), some are drunk as well but they are escorted out immediately by the security staff.
If it gets bad then they call the ploice to assist them, and they are very good, they come out straight away.
There is one man who reeks that comes in every thursday, and he always goes to the same till.
Poor Veronica!!! She hates serving him.
Admittedly he is a nice man, but he doesn't wash!!!
It's a wonder they don't realise that they have an odour isn't it?
Never mind it takes all sorts, as they say!!

Concerning nigel, he sounds like he needs help. Isn't there anyine that can help him with his drink addiction?
