Well, I suppose the council could ban farming or control the direction of the wind.
Sometimes theres an "interesting" smell around CH, particularly in a morning - not sure if it`s the drains or not.................
It's the sewage works on the A24...

Today's word is......
amaretto
•
noun [mass noun] a brown almond-flavoured liqueur produced in Italy.
— origin Italian, diminutive of amaro ‘bitter’ (with reference to bitter almonds).
Is that really the best they can come up with?

Anyway, Plum, you're two posts away from 1500 - what happens then? Do you get to keep your bands undone?

Surely you would shrivel to become a prune, rather than implode....
