Nominations for the Greatest Stench in the County!
Picture 1: I live somewhat near this place, known for the creation of the infamous Penrith Pong. A word of advice, ensure you turn your air-con off when passing if you're visiting and unfamiliar with the place, maybe even mark it on your Sat-Nav so you know when it is coming up. Thank me later.
I pass it every driving to work, so switching the air-con off has basically become muscle memory at this point.
Picture 2: A recent trip to Gretna, and this bad boy was looking bigger than the last time I went by...... 3 weeks ago. Still smells the same though.... of diarrhoea and FREEDOM BABY!!! Because clealry if you have have enough money and know the right people you are free to operate any kind of ecological monstrosities.
Not, sure if there is a name for this smell yet, but I'm coining Carlisle's Clocoa (a foul-smelling waste outlet). It doesn't quite have the same ring to it as Penrith Pong, but these things take time.
I think this sums up the state of this country. So many organisations appear to either not care if their pursuit of profit slowly kills you, or are actively trying to rinse you for every penny they can get.
At this point you can either laugh about it or cry about it, and frankly one is cheaper than therapy.
Anyway, feel free to nominate any other notable stenches around the county and I might start reviewing them like the next Chicken Connoisseur, except instead of fried chicken, it’s industrial decay and airborne biohazards.
