Smell thy neighbour

Something is indeed rotten in the state of Israel. Reports say King Abdullah of Jordan has complained to the authorities about the smell of manure wafting over his palace near the Red Sea from a farm in Israel.

Israeli radio said King Abdullah had told the Israeli environment ministry that he'd had to cancel an international conference last week because of the unpleasant smell. It's a tough world out there. I heard this on the Beeb this morning but could only find this (Hong Kong) source.
