I have noticed for the passed few days now, where ever i go in Newbury... and in Thatcham, there is an awful smell looming, it's everywhere! Do we have a serious problem? Or are there more and more people buying cats for pets?
I do know that there is a sewage plant down Lower Way. Can you smell anything at your end? -------------------- "Quick, Hide something that looks like fun!"

Farmers spreading stuff on their fields?... AKA muck spreading.

Like when some people move into country villages they moan about Church Bells & Cockerel's Crowing etc. I was told recently that some Burghclere residents are even moaning about the Cricket Matches played there !!

It has definitely been the unmistakable smell of muck-spreading. Having lived in London for quite a few years I welcome the different smells and noises that mean I am close to the countryside again. A country-girl am I. I love hearing the sound of.......church bells on a Sunday morning, foxes arguing, cows mooing, deer barking, owls hooting......... I love it and I will never want it to stop. Ok back to reality, it was the smell of farmers spreading their 'compost' on their fields to increase the quality of their crops for the next year.

I love to hear Church bells so much that I tried to buy an album of the sound.... but I couldn't get it anywhere. |

Shame isn't it, having to compalin about smells. Perhaps I'm now too old and clearly un healthy, but at one time, everywhere had a distinctive smell, and not one from a can! I used to love the smell coming from the Brewery - on the rare occasions I get a whiff now, brings back memories of Nan's Irish Stew.

Sigh! Try this: http://www.cccbr.org.uk/bellrecordings/
Re the two bricks - I think you have to catch them early. Still it wouldn't hurt to try (well, not us at least).
