Chatting on another website and quite a few people all over London are commenting on a very strange smell in the air this morning – almost manure like.
I stuck my nose out of the window and sniffed, and yes there is definitely something in the air.
As the smell is being reported all over London, I phoned up the Met Office public helpline, and they haven’t had any reports or complaints from anyone else, but did suggest that there was a strong Easterly wind last night – whereas London usually gets a South-Easterly wind.
The Easterly wind could well have picked up smells from sewerage works out towards the Thames Gateway area – or even smells from the North Sea.
SUPPORT THIS WEBSITE
This website has been running now for over a decade, and while advertising revenue contributes to funding the website, it doesn't cover the costs. That is why I have set up a facility with DonorBox where you can contribute to the costs of the website and time invested in writing and research for the news articles.
It's very similar to the way The Guardian and many smaller websites are now seeking to generate an income in the face of rising costs and declining advertising.
Whether it's a one-off donation or a regular giver, every additional support goes a long way to covering the running costs of this website, and keeping you regularly topped up doses of Londony news and facts.
If you like what you read on here, then please support the website here.
Thank you
