For me it's cafés with "no WiFi here, talk to each other!" signs.

A) I'll probably go elsewhere thanks

B) My best friend likes to sit on his phone anyway because they don't realise mobile data exists.

I just find it so wanky - if I'm going out to spend money on a drink and several pieces of cake then I'm going out to relax. If I want to be on my phone then I will be.

I can't see them being banned because woodburning is carbon-neutral. If you let wood rot though, it emits methane which is much worse.

Eh, think how long it takes a tree to grow. Then think how long it takes a log to burn. Then think how long it takes a log to rot.

and the energy needed to harvest the wood. time to age it to be low emission....

Pan-fried differentiates things from deep fried or shallow fried, I think, @Treefloof (love that nickname).

But shallow fried or deep fried, still use a pan. Different shape and size true. But still a pan.

And my nn just Google internet animal names. I love so many but my next one will be spiky floof- hedgehog. Treefloof is a koala.

Buggers off to preen about MN username impressing anyone at all.

True - I guess pan-fried also implies much less fat (if any) than shallow or deep frying - that is what I assume, when I read this on a menu.

Yes, I agree, STG - and wok fried even less fat
