    Default Portsmouth gets a Dust Storm

    People in the Portsmouth have been warned to beware air pollution over the next few days - because of dust swept in from the Sahara Desert.

    The south coast is expected to be one of the worst-hit areas as large swathes of England and Wales are affected.

    The elevated pollution levels have been caused by a combination of light south-easterly winds, the continental air flow and dust which has blown up from the Sahara desert, a spokeswoman for the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs said.

    So now Africa is dropping stuff on us , still it makes a change from all the African imports coming in via the Ferryport on the chassis of a lorry
