It's actually against the law to have a bonfire in your garden. I found this out to my shame a few years back when I was burining garden rubbish in a metal brazier. I had always thought I was conscientious; trying to time it when neighbours weren't in garden, no wahsing on lines etc. However, one of them called the fire brigade. They were quite nice and polite and told me I could only have a bonfire in my garden on bonfire night.

I know you may not want to put your head over the parapet but it is an option to call the fire brigade especially if he's leaving it unattended/ accelerating it with petrol

I think they were pulling your leg, it is not illegal! Smokekess zones may be different though.

ARE YOU REALLY SURE ABOUT THAT :rotfl:

government web page says you can.


Garden bonfires: the rules

There are no laws against having a bonfire, but there are laws for the nuisance they can cause

Complain about a neighbour’s bonfire

Your council can issue an ‘abatement notice’ if a neighbour’s bonfire is causing a nuisance. A bonfire must happen frequently to be considered a nuisance.
so go have another soon as you can but not too often.

We had new neighbours move in a few years ago they left a huge tree stump unattended smouldering, the smoke was unbearable so mr monkey put the hose pipe on it to put out the fire and told them when they came back that the fire brigade had been out to it and put it out... They've not had a fire since:j

:rotfl::rotfl: thats brilliant,

Hello afternoon everyone- im back from my short break to Majorca with DH and 14 year old teenage monster (grandson). Had a fairly stress free time, we were going to teat ourselves and eat out but.... RTC fresh meat put paid to that, I couldn't resist and bought enough meat for 6days, together with RTC veg for stir fry but full priced strawberries:eek:
DH done some wombling and found 1 euro in a trolley:)
14 year old monster had a bet on the grand national as we always have done for many years - he only picked the winner out and won £125 he only had £2.50 ew on it so he was happy:j planning to put the money towards a ps4:(:(
At Palma airport yesterday DH ordered from B.King a bbq rib burger advertised for 5.50 euro but was charge 3.50 euro - 'glitch'
Stopped at T on the way home for BNI and small pp after buying 2 Kormas realised they were dated 12th went CC who exchanged them for 2 different curries I had my pp and apology but I think an email to cc is called for??
:j:j:j DIL was kept in St Thomas hospital in London after being at work all day and went just to drop of a sample (38 weeks pregnant) due to leave work the following day. Everything was fine she had diabetes that one can get with pregnancy, and high blood pressure. :jLast night she gave birth to a perfect little boy, my 2nd grandson:j
Weighing in at 6lbs 7 oz was a good weight considering he was nearly 2 weeks early and DIL is Pilipino (but brought up in London/devon for most of her life)so she is tiny, DS is white British and nearly 6 foot. I cant wait to visit at the weekend so lots of trips down to London for me- Ill have to check out the local As whilst there;)
Now to go and catch up and see what I have missed- any good offers or glitches around at the moment?
coffee any one?:coffee:

Congratulations! :T

Good morning all, absolutely glorious day here

Will be spending the day in the garden, or at least some of it. Have to build a cage around my blueberries. Last year I netted them and the birds STILL got to the lovely berries

Also got to sieve some compost and transfer it to the front garden, so I imagine I will be sleeping well tonight :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:



Strangely enough my 4 year old Acer Iconia does this from time to time. I just turn it off and on again and it is fine *touches wood*.



Just one note David. or anyone else, if you do decide to do this check out whether your tip requires a permit to offload a van there. They are normally free but you will be stuck with a van load if you need a permit and don't have one!

Our tip has a seperate part for them they dont fit in uhder the steel girder they have hung at the entrance:eek:
But I know others do need a permit from the council they are free and they give about 3 at a time and lots of times:D

I was wondering that as I typed it, but then I've always been a good girl and believed a man in uniform! I was in a smokeless zone so I think that was an issue
