Coming from Sankey I beg to differ, and no it's definitely not drifting in from Widnes

Nah say as i see the wire.

Fiddlers ferry is in warrington if you had a brain cell.

Fiddlers Ferry ain't responsible for the smell though, I blame Gateworth landfill site and it's neighbouring sewerage treatment works.

and longford

Don't forget either that flows downstream.

Had a ride past fiddlers ferry today and had a little giggle to myself as all the smoke was blowing towards widnes! To quote a friend of mine who comes from widnes, "ah............smoking chimneys.................that's how i know i'm home!"

The wind generally blows in an easterly direction though, so hard luck.

Today it was heading nicely over the eight towers,was all that smog!

Aye, but that’s not it’s general direction. Like I said, the prevailing winds tend to blow east.


The power station mostly releases water vapour anyway. It’s just the which blows out of that middle stack you have to worry about.

and Birchwood...

Not to mention the soap factory right in the town centre, that can let off quite a stink.....

Yeah..that disgusting smell of........ soap!!!












Have you ever stood on a platform at Bank Quay when that thing is in full force..
It's like what I imagine Ladies Toilets to smell of.

Yes soap. What a foul smell eh?
