    Hi all,

    Was crossing the path by the railway track around lunch time yesterday and got an awful stink of oil. When I looked into the water I saw what looked like oil streaming along in the water.

    I expected to hear something on the news but heard nothing. Anyone hear anything? Did no one notice or was it simply kept quiet? I think those responsible should be held accountable.

    This is what it looked like:

    It looks more like petrol then oil. Was there much of it in the water?

    Saw it myself when walking into town. Ive heard that there was an unknown leak coming from somewhere the other side of the bridge(towards the sea) and that it wasn't from the tanks there beside the harbor hotel...or so im told.
