Pretty nasty smell all over town earlier, can't imagine it's that good to breathe in either.

tbh it's been like that since we had 3000+ fishy bastards here 10 days ago.

Smelt that last night and thought it might be some sort of coal fire. Supposed to really bad visibilty along Millbrook road...

Thought it started 9AM this morning? It's horrible where I am in upper Shirley.

Bad enough in Bitterne Park, must be really bad where you are

I dunno, was definitley the same smell last night, maybe they're telling porkies.

Couldn't drive down Millbrook road earlier, just like driving through dence fog. Very very slow moving.

How does scrap metal burn ?

[timebomb]

Seem to recall there was a scrap metal fire in Northam about 10 years ago and that smouldered for about 4 months.

How does scrap metal burn ?

 

Anything will burn, given the right conditions. In this case, compression, with a nice onshore breeze! Compression causes friction, the breeze added the oxygen.

Has the rain put it out yet?

METAL + O
