Yep, just had to close the back door - the smell is now back, and worse than yesterday.
Muck spreading somewhere???

It's coming from Dooley Lane, it was dreadful when we drove past this morning. It must be the sewage works down there.

I would suggest that it is an obvious drains problem.

It is almost certainly being caused by the lack of resources needed to maintain a Victorian drainage system in 2017. These resources like all others resources have been greatly depleted by central government. Let us hope that it only manifests itself in a temporary bad smell. Things could get a lot worse.

That rather seems to miss the point by about 100%. Oh dear.

Sorry but I am confused.  You blame central government for not investing in infrastructure they don't own and have no responsibility for, then go on some high and mighty "you are clearly too thick to understand" thing?

It's pretty simple.  The government absolved itself of responsibility in return for cash a long time ago.  Ergo it is not it's responsibility for the fact that United Utilities fails to invest decades later.

Did I imagine it or were all the sewage pipes down Stockport Road and Dooley Lane replaced a few years ago?

I think the smell was caused by what we used to call 'muck spreading'. i.e. A farmer is fertilising his fields organically.

Driving through Otterspool on Saturday it smelt like an industrial strength stink bomb had been set off - a real powerful, sulphurous,  eggy smell. Far worse than driving past either of the sewage works on the M60.

Then Saturday evening back in Asda car park there was a distinct smell of manure.

How dreadfully inconsiderate of him (sarcasm off).
