Slough is a black hole


A Japanese web site has decided that they need to take their noses where no Japanese has gone before and map out the world's niffs.

The "Nioi-bu," or Smell Club has registered more than 160 scents around the world, ranging from "steam coming out of a rice cooker" to "used socks in the summer," and pinpointed the smell locations on a Google map.

The Japanese only site says that Fujisawa City smells of cow dung and Kamakura there was a smell of "cats with halitosis".From Paris , there is a "scent of verbena soap near a monastery". God knows what they would have made of Slough which smells of Mars bars on a good day and cat meat on a bad one. (At least they're not deep fried Mars bars. sub.ed.)

We would tell you where the site was, but no one is supposed to talk about Smell Club.
