I remember when in 2007 the UK had the Foot and Mouth outbreak and piles of burning cattle greeted any journey through the countryside.
I don't recall the smell being particularly unpleasant - just roasted meat basically - why would a burning human smell any different?
Where's Christian when you need him - he could ask that grandfather of his - the one who fell off the watchtower

Yeah, that's right, Christian's grandpa worked at watchtower of one of those camping grounds. It's questionable if he'd have any useful insight tho, the watchtowers were probably lower than the chimneys, he may have easily smelled nothing. But just walking around on camping grounds would give some idea of the smell.Originally Posted by scottish-guy
If he was anything like ChristianPFC, he took detailed notes. Hidden somewhere there must be volumes and volumes of priceless first hand information.
Maybe ChristianPFC can shed some light on this issue, when he has time to drop by, that is. Lately he's been strangely absent, probably hiking at some god forsaken province, looking for god knows what.

Whitemouse: Pigeon is eaten almost everywhere but it must be the wood pigeon, not the one found in cities. Seagulls would have a rather unpleasant fishy taste which is why seabirds (with the notable exception of the puffin) are rarely consumed anywhere.

Kinda like FISH ?
Which people seem to manage to eat the world over without it finding it "rather unpleasant"?

Scottish. If you want to eat something that has the texture of meat with the taste of fish then please go and catch a seagull and chomp away with what few teeth you have left.

At least I don't keep my teeth in a glass of water
Oh and I knew your phraseology reminded me of someone:

I've always assumed you looked rather like Blakey and that proves it.
Interesting about funerals. I would far rather to go a good funeral than a wedding. In fact I have told my friend that I am never going to another wedding.
There are at least two good reasons why funerals are more fun to attend...
1. You know it will last (unlike 60% of weddings) and,
2. You haven’t got to buy a present.

Plus, as time goes on you have far more opportunities to attend funerals than weddings
Len, you haven't quite grasped the concept of originality, have you?
