Odd how a bonfire can piss is off when a BBQ just makes us hungry

Good advice, I think I will do this, although I find it hard to believe someone burning rubbish on a summers evening wouldn't think it a nuisance, but then. Whats worse I have my mum staying at times like last night, shes 83 and suffers from bronchial problems so bonfires don't help :x
I'll report back with my black eye
Tim.

A good steak will help the black eye
You're right that they should be aware how much of a nuisance it is, but there are a lot of moronic people in the world.

Tim - the comment about the black eye....
Although it was probably a joke, it is a sad fact that at the same time, it could be true (I hope not for you though!).
Some of these people are actually knuckle draggers (proven scientific fact!...according to ME!) and will not be able to hold a proper conversation with you, or see the problem from your point of view, they will just try and muscle through it with intimidation etc.
Be careful our there.....

It might be worth mentioning also that if you go down the official line and enter a dispute with your neighbour, this may have to be declared if you sell your house, in which case prospective purchasers are aware of the problem.
How about an anonymous note through the letterbox politely asking him to stop. It may bring it to his attention if he'd never considered it before.
as a confirmed knuckle dragging fire burner - i may have a suggestion
if one of my neighbours had an issue with fires (we live in a rural area and everyone burns stuff) - I would look for a compromise. I think that there are probably times in a day, times in a week where a fire wouldn't be a problem - so perhaps its more a case of working out when he can burn stuff rather than a blanket ban on burning stuff at all.
just my 10c

Good point, and I agree with this.
Heard of a lady near my mother in law getting upset cos the gardener at another property always burns the garden waste on a Monday. She hangs her washing out on a Monday!
Classic case of compromise (i.e. someone change day) waiting to happen!
Probably it's a cyclist burning his old tyres to annoy Tim. :wink:
