S Coast Gas Cloud

[Droogs]

I wonder if this cloud is from corroded WW1 chemical munitions. dumped after the armistice. Also how long before ISIS claim to have sailed a sub up the channel to release it

It's the Frenchies... but at least Canvey Island got off the hook this time.

Some bug get let rip on the beach; :lol:

I'm amazed a quick sample of this gas hasn't been put through a gas chromatograph and identified.

Fairly mundane technology, these days.

Heston's got one in his sodding kitchen!

Heston's got one in his sodding kitchen!

I think his one is a bull****omatograph. It's certainly got its work cut out in his kitchen anyhow.

For what its worth, the English channel is the buisiest shipping lane in the world we have had light or variable winds for days with only sea breezes during the afterrnoons.
We were out on the Thames off Southend on saturday & it was busy with shipping, about 8 ships went up & down on the tide as we waited to cross the shipping channel, we could clearly see the filthy yellow smog pumping from their funnel exhausts laying spread out over the sea for miles.
In the channel this many pass every half hour 24 hours a day.
And our politicians bleat about banning diesel cars.

And our politicians bleat about banning diesel cars.

...because they can then use pollution as an excuse to extract more tax from a captive audience.

The council responsible for the Peoples Republic of Nottingham has been extremely creative in finding ways to obstruct traffic and, as a result, claim that pollution is increasing and that it may be necessary to introduce a congestion charge.
A sane and rational person would just remove the traffic lights they have installed on every island in the city which means that out of rush hours there can be cars waiting to enter roundabouts when there is no other traffic on them.....And then there is the huge expenditure on ultra wide cycle paths (that are rarely ever used) that restrict the road available to cars that have now resulted in traffic queues 24/7, not to mention the electric car only lanes.

Our council have the answer to pollution - in one of the very worst areas they've given PP for another 680 houses and reduced a busy dual carriageway to two single lanes. That'll cure it.
