eau de europe

All this morning I was being paranoid that I smelt bad. I could not work out where the slightly eggy/dog poo/rotting smell was coming from. Once at work, a colleague mentioned he thought he'd stepped in something, as he'd smelt something bad all morning. I joked 'maybe it's something in the air'.

A few people in here noticed it too, others had no idea what we were talking about.

In the last few hours, it's been all over the news.

They all say the smell has come from Europe via freak winds. All except the ever-reliable Daily Mail, which reports that the smell is from France, despite their map which shows that the smell is actually coming from Europe NORTH of France. Good old Daily Mail - they never let facts get in the way of Frog-bashing, eh?

So...

The boss thought it was eggy, colleague S and I thought it smelt more like dog poo!

Sounds like an interesting mixture! And when I say 'interesting' I mean 'eeeeewwww'. :-)
