Wet dog smell

Alex

Has anyone else noticed a strange, pervasive smell like wet dog spreading through the Stroud Green area over the last few days? Or is it just me?

I can't smell the ambient wet dog smell over the actual smell of my wet dog.

We thought it smells of hamster food, but yes, I know what you mean. It doesn't stretch up to the Upper East Side, but I noticed it when I came down the hill yesterday.

Smelt it when I got off the bus in Crouch End. Really over powering. Think I've tracked it down to the chicken pellet manure the Council put on newly dug flower beds.

That smell. It's the manure beds. Esp up in Crouch End.

it was overpowering in Crouch End waiting for the W7 to take me back to the lesser smelling F.Park the other day. Defo something to do with the flower beds...

It's not just SG, I caught a real blast of it in Kentish Town last night.

Guano.

The smell was back yesterday afternoon on lower Sg near Lorne Road. Very strong. I could not see any flower bed pellets but it was that sort of smell. Still there today but less intense. Chang
