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.

  You can get a card at the till, though, to get the discount. You don't have to carry it with you (or load it onto your phone), you can just get a different card each time. Not sure what happens if they notice 🤣

  Yes..that may be the case but membership STARTING at £115 a month is still unafforable for many. Council gyms also have a large range of equipment and I had a PT at Dulwich leisure centre when I was in Full Time employment who was incredible and even kept in contact during lockdown giving me a program I could do at home and checking in weekly at no charge or personal gain for herself. I dont doubt that Fit For may be a good gym (Its been in situ long enough so must be doing something right) However the cost of membership means it is affordable for the few not the many. If I could afford that kind of fee I would rather get a train to Canary Wharf and go to Virgin active where theres a pool and incredible classes and facilities

  We found a red TREK bike yesterday that had clearly been stolen and dumped. Would love to reunite it with its owner. Get in touch if you know whose it is.
