I realise this is slightly wider than Sydenham but I am feeling it in Sydenham so here goes : Can anyone remember a fouler atmosphere than this afternoon and this evening ?
It actually smells like a fire in a breakers yard . As someone who is manically un -allergic to everything I have to report my eyes are sore and I can't taste a chemically residue in my throat .
I know the mayor has issued an alert , quite rightly , but I am truly shocked at how dirty the very air we breath is tonight .
A very good evening
Nigel
