Nasty Smell!
11 Answers
I have noticed a nasty smell in my house, it smells a bit like FISH! We don't eat fish, so its not a leftover dinner smell... Could it mean we have a damp problem somewhere?

If you have an old house, check the fuse board and junction boxes in the 'cupboard under the stairs'. I once had this smell for about 4 days and on the 4th day the bakelite fuse board burst into flames (luckily we were in). The guy from the Electricity Board said the smell was the bakelite smouldering.
There is a story that has been going around the internet for a while now concerning fishy smells in a house. Are you sure you are not the origin of this story? Here is a summary of the story . . .
A couple broke up (he traded in his forty for a twenty) and the wife put shrimps in the curtain rods as her parting gift before she moved out.
His new girlfriend moved in with him and the smell started and just got worse and worse.
They decided to move as they couldn't get rid of the ever worsening stench.
Of course they took the curtain rods with them....
