Must make a change for darkstream. His hometown usually smells of either sugarbeet or chocolate.

At least it's not as bad as Chichester (nearest city to where I'm going), the shipams factory is there, and it's only recently that most of the toen has stopped smelling of fish

*bleugh*

I hope Ruvic is ok.
Sorry I haven't replied, but I've been sorting and packing rather a lot the last few days.

Chichester, twinned with Grimsby?

I have a stong dislike for the smell of fish at the best of times.

Don't worry. I have been too busy with Ruvic's troubles to fully give comment and encouragement to your upheavals. Hope it all goes well for both of you.

It wasn't just fish smell, it was fish paste factory smell.

IIRC the Shipphams factory moved to another part of the city, hence why no fishy smells in the centre these days.

I remember working over a summer in a shop there a long time ago, and it was scary how quickly you got used to the smell, only to have customers come in and ask how you could stand it!

Better to smell of pie than how Burton smells...a mixture of marmite and hops equalling a real baaaad smell eww.
