And good morning from a overcast but mild East Midlands of the UK.
Nothing planned for today apart from dropping Mrs HF and friend off
for the train to Sheffield and their shopping expedition.
Hey ho, each to their own.

I think you'll find that it was the Lort Burn - a typical name for an open sewer (lort being the word for sh!t).
This was the Lort Burn, one of several now built-over waterways which flowed downhill through Newcastle to the Tyne.

I suppose most of the rivers and their tributaries were open sewers back then reckon the population just got used to the smell of poo.
I remember Colombo in Ceylon in the sixties,no matter what part of the city you went was the overwhelming smell of human shit,I suppose the locals were so accustomed to it they could no longer smell it.

Around the threshold of R/W 27 at Bombay/Mumbai there is a small 'village' and when they can't get enough wood to fuel their cooking fires the burn sh*t, fills the aircraft with a quaint aroma just before take off! Limeygal may remember this experience?

Somebody had a sense of humour though as the first thing you saw as you got down was a big sign advertising Air India which said
THERE'S AN AIR ABOUT INDIA
