I remember years ago, I had to explain that to a guy I worked with.
He was an English immigrant, and worked on the opposite side of the workbench from me (we were both Joiners). He had only been in Australia like a week, before he got the job where I was working. He would bathe weekly, and wear the same clothes for a week......boy, did this guy stink.
I had to complain to the Foreman about him, and when he did nothing about it, a bunch of us got together and threw him into a cold shower, clothes and all. Mind you, a few of us very nearly got fired because of that. But I figured it was worth it. I remember I said to him at the time "You're in Australia now old mate, you keep yourself clean". He got the message.
