So do our neighbours. Usually when we're about to eat outside.

Try asking them nicely not to have a bonfire. If they persist direct your hose on to it. Works for me.
I would but the fires are too far away......they use a bit of the nature reserve just past their boundary.......to be fair it’s been happening less since she ditched her last husband who was obviously some kind of pyromaniac (an Aussie), and then the daughter of our other neighbours went round and gave her a load of verbal one afternoon too (and she’s one scary MF).
I can't believe that two local residents in Hove, who live a few doors away from me and are both doctors, have just lit a bloody bonfire in their garden. The stench can only be described as appalling. It beggars belief that anyone would do this at a time when people who have the virus and/or are self isolating, and often have difficulties breathing, are recommended to have their windows open for fresh air. The selfishness of some folk never ceases to amaze me but I would have expected better of two health professionals, especially at the moment. Rant over.

Shame the council stopped collecting it then. Cause and effect, eh?
Err...they do collect it, albeit for a small annual fee.
My Dad always said if you must have a bonfire, wait for a drizzly day when no one’s out or have washing out. Respect neighbours.

OK, fair enough - but in a lot of places they've just stopped, whether paid for or not (there is another thread about it). There will be a lot of bonfires up and down the country soon, as soon as the stuff has dried out a bit. And councils will rant and rave, wonder why it's happened, and send out threatening letters.

I'm not averse to the odd bonfire but now? And in the middle of a bloody pandemic when many people are having breathing difficulties? Utterly selfish behaviour.
Cheers.....that made me laugh a tad.

Bonfires are usually lit when necessary (plus on and around Bonfire Night). Windows can be closed - being in the midst of a cloud of smoke will affect breathing; but a distant whiff of a bonfire? No - just close the windows! Coronavirus isn't spread by burning garden waste!
