So do our neighbours. Usually when we're about to eat outside.
Lewes always is but the societies are most Saturday nights from Sept, Oct , Nov.
One of the bonuses of living in Sussex.
If you like bonfires and fireworks and people dressing up carrying torches etc. that is.
Prepared by a charcoal fired bbq?
Not this year I'm afraid.
Not anymore, they keep delaying it until the next year i.e supposedly 2019!

Try asking them nicely not to have a bonfire. If they persist direct your hose on to it. Works for me.So not almost every Sunday afternoon between 2 and 5pm, and if it's a sunny summer's day, make it an extra big one then ??

Shame the council stopped collecting it then. Cause and effect, eh?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, and the stench is appalling. It beggars belief 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 people never ceases to amaze me but I would have expected better of a health professional, especially at this time. Rant over.

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.
Err...they do collect it, albeit for a small annual fee.

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.
Cause and effect ........................
You need to get out more.
Oh...........hang on.
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!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.
