So many awful events.

I hope everyone recovers from this woman’s actions.

It always feels like the hot weather brings all the crazy ppl out into the world.

Very interesting (and alarming!) OP - thank you for sharing

I hope the woman gets the help she needs and that she recovers and goes on to enjoy her life.

Eh?

How the fuck is saying 'hope everyone recovers from this woman's actions' being a twat???

It was only a matter of time before the virtue signalling began 😴

So does anyone know what was in the bag and what the conclusion was re this incident? Id been keen to know.

Yep, there'll be a 'did no-one check on her?!! How awful of them to only be concerned about themselves!!'

I live in Bath and there was an update that there was no intent to cause harm

Thanks for that. It is good to know it wasn’t deliberate, and important to put the record straight too.
It leaves you still wondering what it was though? 🤔I guess we’ll never know.

I've read comments on Facebook that it was perfume but I don't know how true that is :)

I was thinking that the woman found some old chemicals in her shed that was used for cleaning or gardening decades ago that is now banned and she was taking it somewhere to dispose of it but it leaked! 🤷🏼‍♀️

It's good it wasn't malicious, but it would still be interesting to know what it was!
