Brightlingsea pong?

[RubyD]

I'm thinking of returning to BlingSea for a few days but read on-line that the area has been suffering from an untraceable pong. I'd welcome any views on this.

Probably on the ebb tide from COlchester sewage works doing one of their many unwarranted discharges

I grew up in Essex and remember my early experiences with the local "talent". "Kiss me where it smells" so I drove her to Brightlingsea.

I think she now lives in Jaywick.

You would be referring to the delicate odour that comes from the Dunmow Waste disposal plant at the top end of the town.
Yes, it does get a shade 'intense' in warm weather and any breeze with some North in it will waft it gently across the town. Fortunately with the prevailing West/South Westerlies it tends to get blown away towards St Osyth and Clacton who are more than welcome to it!

"Kiss me where it smells". Nice one

Thanks all. I'll look for a suitable W or SW forecast and give BlingSea another try. Love the humour.

Growing up in south Wales we had the same joke but featuring Port Talbot.

The version I remember was "kiss me somewhere warm ,dark. damp and smelly" so she was taken to Southend on Sea
