so – here we are, I’ve read your website and some of your yarns. very fancy schmancy – but in a good way.
this phrase is gold, and graphic, Dais: “An alien stench lingers over whole swathes of the city – what is causing that fishy, metallic smell? – and in areas most badly affected, fridges and freezers of rotting meat and food are adding to the mighty pong.”
this a GREAT example of one of the small things everyone knows, but that the journos often fail to remind the public in a large “disaster” news story.
a lot of the journos arrive and after a day or so, when it comes time for them to file or go live, they’ve got used to the smell so they forget to mention it.
just about the worst example of this happened in Poland/Austria when the allies freed the concentration camps. many of the surrounding farmers had no idea what was going on in the camps, such was the security in and around the camps. during liberation many of those same farmers were shot by distraught and pissed off allied soldiers who refused to believe they farmers couldn’t “smell” what was going on and therefore, should have done something to try and stop it…true story.
anyways…rock on – smell those yarns out! lol!
cheers,
daffy
