England smells like a farm...

Walked out from the hotel it thought I smelled something funny... so just quipped to my colleague the sea smelly today... haha... I thought it was pretty normal as there's a number of farmland around our hotel... anyway little did I know... the smell was actually cow manure from Europe! :P... from BBC:

"A foul smell detected in parts of England and Wales is being blamed on easterly winds bringing farming or industrial smells across the Channel.
Labelled "Euro-whiff" by the Met Office, the source of the smell - alternately described as sulphur and manure - is under investigation.
The Met Office said it had had hundreds of calls from the public looking for information about the odour.
The BBC News website has received over a thousand e-mails about the smell.
Readers have reported a range of sulphur and manure-like smells hanging over large parts of England and Wales. ..."
