GARLIC appears to be the culprit behind a city evacuation of 70 people this morning.Emergency services were in full flight in Brisbane city this morning investigating the cause of an unusual stench. What was thought to be a gas leak had left some workers unwell in busy Elizabeth Street. They evaculated level three of 229 Elizabeth St, Brisbane, at about 9.50am in an exercise conducted with full military precision. In all 70 people were asked to leave.
But it was soon discovered the smell was in fact roast garlic from a kitchen in an adjoining building.
Garlic is known for its mythical ability to drive spirits out of buildings, but this power was thought to be confined to vampires. Police reopened Elizabeth St at about 10.50am once the scene was deemed non-toxic -- at least to humans.
Vampires are still advised to keep away!
Must keep my neck covered up when I visit Brisbane!
Have a good day!
