Did anyone else just experience vile aircraft fumes (around 7pm)?

Having lived here (Nunhead, SE15) for over 30 years I am accustomed to this feature, but this evening eclipses past events. We are supposed to be safeguarded against this.

I can still smell the fumes, more than 20mins after the plane flew over.

I would be glad to hear if others got the same.

I doubt its from an aircraft- why would it be? They are still pretty high when they fly over you know, hardly like standing behind a car exhaust. If they were to do this as normal practice there would be far too many complaints from busybodies, so if there is any fuel to be dumped when there is an emergency they do it at sea.
Jet-A1 fuel has very distinctive exhaust smell and as someone who has lived under the flighpath of both Heathrow and City airport for many years I have never noticed it. Are you sure it is aircraft fumes - I presume it was an an aircraft approaching to land? Remember most aircraft on approach are essentially gliding and the engines are pretty much in idle - although many will have reached the bottom of their descent over here and might be using power before they lock onto the localiser and glideslope a few miles west of here (for Heathrow).

    • Dog kennel isn't a great name for a school. I agree that it's ridiculous for the name to put anyone off going there, but don't see any issue with them rebranding if the parents and children prefer a new name. The school is surrounded by historical 'groves' (reflected in the names of Camberwell Grove, Grove park and Grove Vale for example), so it's not a totally random name. 
    • It might help if there are body cams to record evidence and a presence maybe a deterrent but I very much doubt a park warden would intervene with obnoxious and violent thugs - children or not. We need police for that.  
    • I had a leaky toilet cistern and Niko came out the same day and not only fixed the leak but thoroughly cleaned off the years of calcium build-up. His attention to detail was matched by his kind humanity. The result was a completely renovated toilet which has never worked more efficiently as well as 'service with a smile'. MANY THANKS NIKO!!!  
    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA!
