Womans house smelled fishy for weeks , there was a dangerous reason
In the News
When this woman started smelling a fishy odour in her bedroom she was going frantic trying to find where the smell was coming from
She even checked her drains and U bend but there was nothing there
After consulting google she suddenly realised it could be an electrical fault
So she got her brother in law, an electrician, to check it out
And lo and behold there was a loose wire in the fusebox that was shorting and the plastic coating was gradualling melting
The smell of melting plastic apparently is similar to the smell of fish
So the next time you sense something fishy going on in the bedroom, check your fusebox , it 'cod' be a loose wire

Good to know, like you said it 'cod' be a loose wire and good job she looked in the right 'plaice' .
Yeah this kind of thing does smell kind of fishy, it's always worth while checking sockets every now and then
