* In the Gotrek and Felix book, Skaven |
* In the ''[[Gotrek and Felix]]'' book, ''Skaven Slayer'', Felix once went to a tailor to get some fancy clothes and then he had a hard time figuring out how to get to some guy's mansion without getting his clothes gross.

The opening pages describe an idealized picture of England during [[The Cavalier Years]] with buxom wenches and lots of [[Gorgeous Period Dress]], but then refer to scholars' conclusion that the actual standard of living and cleanliness of the time made it closer to The Dung Ages. Fraser then dismisses these conclusions in a tongue-in-cheek way as [[Political Correctness Gone Mad]] and announces that he would prefer to write about 17th century England as it should have been. |
