Ok so I have opened up a new profile for this as I suspect there are people I know on here who know I'm me... if that makes sense.
We had new neighbours move in about 2 months ago. We're in a semi and they have the adjoining house, so we share a garden fence. They bought one of those outdoor wood burner fire pit whatsits a few weeks ago and literally any time it isn't raining they have it lit. It's blowing smoke into our house if we have the windows open, making the house smell smokey. Plus they lit it when I was out the other day and I'd hung the washing on the line so it smelled like a packet of smokey bacon crisps when I brought it in.
I completely understand they can do what they want to in their garden and I have no right to complain, just wondering if there is a polite way to ask them not to light it EVERY TIME the weather is dry. We don't have a tumble dryer so washing line is my main way of drying my clothes. Would it be unreasonable to ask them to at least bob round and tell me they were lighting it so I can bring the washing in?
I feel like such a moaning old bag being annoyed by someone doing something perfectly legal in their own garden...but yeah it's annoying when your clothes smell gross and you can't have your windows open on a sunny day. It blows in way more smoke to our garden than I would have expected.
