England engulfed in smelly French gas from Warren Buffett-owned factory

Large swathes of England were engulfed by a foul-smelling gas cloud which wafted over from a Warren Buffet owned factory in France, according to reports today.

The emergency services and the National Grid fielded thousands of calls from people in Kent, Sussex and Surrey, the Press Association reported. The smell was caused by a discharge of the gas mercaptan from a factory in the northern city of Rouen drifted across the English Channel.
