Anyone noticed a smell of gas in their area?
After I spent a while sniffing around my cooker boiler and meter I found the smell was outside over a wide area. I found this on the net

Amazing how far it has traveled!

I have to go over a bridge that goes over a cannal to get to my shops and there is always a bad strong smell of gas here in Uxbridge. I have been here for almost 4yrs and never gone that way without smelling it. Always got gas men digging road up,

Hope everyone is safe.

Makes you think doesn’t it, that plant is over 100 miles from Sussex.

The French have around 58 nuclear power plants supplying 78% of their power (as opposed to our 19 supplying 25% most of which are being phased out) now if one of them has an "incident" we will be in the merde and no mistake!

Just off to start digging a bunker in the garden!
