I said `wood pellets` ie an Italian eco stove. ie NO FUMES and a handful of wood ash. I doubt your neighbour has a stove worth £3000 (already in our new eco house)

The pellets are fed via a hopper and slide down into the burner. It is very high tec

Would love one but costly, though if you could make your own pellets perhaps do-able.

I work in a bingo hall and we always know when the WFA has been paid as the number of £50 notes we get increases dramatically for a couple of weeks.

If you can afford to spend £50 on bingo then you don't need WFA. Someone mentioned putting it on the 3.30 from Doncaster. I think I'd rather spend it on a three-legged horse than on bingo, but money that was intended to keep you warm in the cold weather - is it ethical to spend it on gambling?

What has ethics to do with it? The government doesn't stand over people to ensure they spend the cash on coal!
If they choose, they can spend it on groceries, holidays, gambling, gin or their relatives - as you did.

I imagine those playing bingo are deluded enough to hope for a good win - dream on.

If the smoke is leaking into your home zyg, then you should let them know as they need to line their chimney.

It's leaking into the air I breathe, they're over the road from me.
