Thanks for the kind welcome, ianr. To be specific, the smell has been lingering for a couple of weeks now, if not longer. It's an unpleasantly bitter odour, with sharp notes of sour rot. I recommend having a whiff for yourself as it is quite hard to describe. @DulwichFox have you any idea as to what it could be?

I Live at the Whately Rd end of Ulverscroft..


There is often bad smells at the Northcross rd. end. Stale/Old oil possibly from Chip Shop waft in the air.


Other food smells on Market day can be very unpleasant but do not reach my end.


Discarded Fish boxes left opposite the Palmerston over night..


Not Pleasant ..

The hairdresser's on North Cross Road is nowhere near Ulverscroft Road.


I have never noticed any smell outside it.


What I do notice however is a persistent faint smell of gas on North Cross Road at the mural end, near Superdrug.


I have been meaning to report it for weeks.

That's a barbers, isn't it? Are they called hairdresers now?


If so, profuse apologies for my outdated knowledge :))

Apologies, I meant outside the barbers. However, I have always used the terms' hairdressers' and 'barbers' interchangeably - is that wrong? What are the differences? Who cares? Perhaps that's a topic for another thread... But for now, the scent still doth linger and spoil the fragrance of festive cheer! Bah Humbug!

Yes!! It abated for a while, and is now back with a vengeance. It smells like vomit to me.

I'm so sorry, I think the issue could be down to my small dog, or otherwise, me. He is a black terrier cross, and I'm blonde and about 5'7". He has a constipation problem and walks like a gunslinger while I have the opposite and shuffle like I'm trying to post letters on the Generation Game. If you recognise our description approach with caution, as by Underhill Road anything could blow at any time.

      In fact there was a promotional leaflet came through the letter box today, for sending by RM's parcel post by buying online.  There are also options mentioned for having the labels printed  at a Collect+ store or at a Parcel Locker.  More info at https://www.royalmail.com/.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By Spartacus · Posted

      Is it? Let's see  Farming is a tough gig with increasingly lower returns, if farms have to sell off land to pay inheritance tax it will reduce their ability to survive. Which in real terms could mean more farm land lost and more reliance on imported food which sees money flowing out, not in to the country.  But I guess as long as you get cheap food that doesn't concern you 😉  Lol "what about the cars"  again Mal... like a broken record....  Governments know that squeezing car drivers for more fuel duty will drive down income from taxes as people switch to electric, which would leave them with a black hole in income. Guess the fuel duty is a fine balancing act tiĺl enough electric cars have been sold to raise tax revenue from their use.

      Carpet / sofa cleaning recommendation

      By catherine8 · Posted

      Hello - if anyone is in need of sofa/rug/carpet cleaning, we have recently had a very good experience with husband and wife team Kate and Vlad. They're a very reasonable cost and the result was great (don't look too closely at the colour of the water that comes out!) Kate's number is 07731 140246

      You can buy your parcel postage (tracked or any other) online from Royal Mail, they will come to your address with the label and pick up your parcel, (no extra charge) alternatively, you can print your label at home and apply to your parcel for them to pick up from you also. The other option is to drop off your labelled parcel to the Royal Mail Delivery Office of your choice.
