    I just google imaged what that stuff looks like. I could easily have walked over it millions of times. It just looks like a normal rock!

    On doing so, unemployed Mr Willman discovered the substance is likely to be ambergris - a lump of sperm whale vomit – which is used in perfumes such as Chanel No.5 to amplify the scent.

    So that explains why Chanel No.5 smells so bad...

    But it floats, so just throw it in the water to be sure!
