There may be more than one thing going on here. ie a water issue and a gas issue.


If you get the smell when the gas burners on the cooker are on it could be the same thing I experienced a few months ago. A kind of odd paraffin-like smell? Apparently there is some kind of additive that is sometimes put in the domestic gas supply in the winter months - something to do with cold weather conditions - that has this odour and is apparently harmless. I got the answer via Prof Google and will post the link when I can find it.


I've found the link - this is it. Not saying that it is monoethylene glycol (as mentioned in the link) that you can smell. But it might be.

    • The programme was brilliant and makes me wary now of sea paddling as so many areas affected. My daughter was working at a bank when privatisation of utility companies were floated. Bank advised its staff that only x number of shares could be purchased by individuals as Government rules at that time. She reported that certain people were seeking double and triple shares. Bank told her to ignore the guidelines as those customers had thousands of pounds in the bank. She was so disgusted at the banks attitude she handed in her notice, She decided that the financial world was too corrupt. Two degrees later - she now works in the NHS as an OT in mental health unit.

    • Petition Urge Israeli Government to stop law allowing execution of Palestinian prisoners The UK Government must act urgently to urge the Israeli Government to stop the proposed law which would permit the execution of Palestinian Prisoners, past, present and future. More details We believe that such a law would constitute complete violation of the Geneva Convention and International Human Rights Law. UN experts have called for these proposals to be dropped. We call on the UK Government apply considerable and substantial political pressure and the leverage of its international obligations to prevent the Israeli Government from passing this law.
