I’m interested to know your reasons if you’re a regular bonfire haver. I don’t mean if you live on a farm in the middle of nowhere and it affects no one. But if you live in a built up area with lots of surrounding houses, why do you think it’s a good idea to have bonfires in summer when everyone has their windows open and washing on the line? I’ve come home to a house that stinks of smoke and a whole load of washing that’s going to have to be re-washed. It’s a neighbour over the road and the smoke is still billowing out from their garden.
There are other options for garden waste, the tip or starting a compost heap or your green bin if you care to pay for it. I have never, in all my years of being an adult, felt the need for a bonfire. Why does anyone need to? It’s polluting. It’s selfish. People have breathing difficulties such as asthma, COPD etc etc.
AIBU to think they should just be banned?
