Are your Neighbours as inconsiderate as mine..?

There are restrictions on bonfires under one of the old Highways Acts, it depends on how close they are to the road.

Down here we are prohibited from having bonfires after 15 May until 15 October I think because there are usually drought restrictions in place and because the woods and forests round here get so dry. Tho many people ignore it of course as they try to do with watering their grass but the water company helicopters usually sort them out.

Thanks LJ.

I'm sure Haze and I are happy for you to adjudicate this one. There is a glass of red riding on it. At the moment the omniscient supermod says it's not a stick of rock.

In certain parts of the country ALL sweets are (parts of Lancashire)called rocks(I believe)

Oh dear, Max and I had a fire going on Sunday afternoon and yesterday too!! However, all burning was in a garden brazier thingy and was hot enough not to smoke much. We had checked that nobody had washing out before we lit though. With our garden being totally enclosed the only way we can get rid of brambles and other big wood waste is to get burning. Wasn't much smell of a fire at all unless you were putting the bits into the brazier.

Don't your council take "organic" waste at it!s tip. Ours(Charnwood) composts garden waste & sells it!

I know what you mean about bonfires but you do have to burn rubbish sometimes.

Our council doesnt collect green rubbish we do take some of it to the dump when we can.

I always wait till 8pm before liting up.

My neighbour often burns her rubbish in the evenings and I know that she has had a letter from the council as one or more of the neighbours have complained.

Love to recyle my stuff but quite often there's so much of it and despite the local commune being very pro-recycling/composting, every time we visit the dechetterie the commune is charged 6,50 euros which is charged against our council tax.

My neighbours have today planted a huge willow of some sort on the other side of the fence from my pond and planted two apple trees right next to it.Unfortunately they are totally unaproachable so I dont know what to do about it.

I heard that repeatedly urinating on them kills trees (just don't get caught doing it!)
