Amazing. I remember when the docks were FULL. Some of the "stinks" were better than C.S gas. But the best were when Spillers was loading wheat. GREAT smell. Like a bowl full of hot porridge on a cold winter morning.

Then, there was the ...Bibbys" If I remember, fish oil and animal food plant. But HAY we got used to it.

Nowdays they all appear to be s shower of complaining weaklings.

(And I lived for five years in Gorsedale Road, about 300 meters from the old chemical dump. WHEN it was still active! AND does any one remember the stink from the Ghandi?)

Weelll. It was great unless your job was to wander around Leasowe all night keeping SOME semblence of what passes for "law and order" there.

After four hours of cadburys smell you were READY for that lunch break.

Even better because my mum worked at Cadbury for a long time and used to bring home massive boxes of choccy biscuits from the Cadbury shop! This was in the innocent days before the government started telling everyone to avoid chocolate and fatty foods and become rabbits of course, a time when we were allowed to eat what we wanted haha!

Also a time when Cadbury in Moreton was actually still Cadbury and not split into Premier Foods, Manor Bakeries or Rank Hovis. They don't make much chocolate there nowadays!

I miss them times!

I love that smell....been in Moreton 10 years now but as someone said you dont smell it as often now sadly.

The smell from Spillers always reminded me of bacon butties. The one smell I really miss is from Cereal Partners - fond memories of working there laugh Even now, if I go to Bromborough and can smell it, it makes me smile.

The worst place I've lived had to be Burton-on-Trent. The smell walking to work if you'd been out the night before, or even not if I'm honest, made a lot of us "out of towners" sick at least twice on the way in. Between the breweries and the marmite factory sick I feel sick just thinking about it!!!

Does anyone remember the smell from Sun Valley Peanuts or whatever it was down town? Used to make me want to throw up.

Also, while staying in York once I could smell something really rank. I was told by a local that it was the sugar beet being processed at a sugar factory.

Well I feel sorry for the people of Helsby / Frodsham.

I up the M56 to Manchester every day - and the stink there is awful - and thats in the car driving past. Its not just some sugar or oil smell, these are nasty chemicals - somedays you can see the purple smog floating over the motorway towards the houses....

Are you sure it doesn't originate from your car?
Does it appear on the day after you've had a mean curry?

The A14 in Cambs between Histon and Milton is like that sick No idea where it comes from though. Used to hate going along that stretch on the motorbike as it would make you nearly vomit in your helmet no
