Garden fires on a sunny day-how considerate.

Just wanted a quick rant about garden fires! It is probably the third nice day we have had since last year and the neighbours have decided it would be a great idea to start a fire at noon. It is still going on now billowing thick smoke across all our gardens which means I can't even have the back door open and hear the birds sing (and honestly I really just wanted to sunbathe on my day off!). I feel like its fine to have a fire but jesus think of your neighbours who also might want to enjoy the lovely weather. Pretty inconsiderate in my opinion and just wanted to get that off my chest. The end.

www.gov.uk/garden-bonfires-rules sorry, would seem I made that up. Feel for you though, very rude to do it in the middle of the day. I'd be especially annoyed if I'd put washing out!

Successfully managed to delete my account not the thread 
, spoke to mumsnet and they said I had to reregister but my old name is not able to be used yet, hence the new name. So have just accepted that its 'one of those days' and I should take a nap. Thank you everyone for the comments they eased my frustration a lot
such a waste of effort having to rewash/dry. I feel like some people are a bit mental? To me it just seems like common sense to be courteous of others but apparently not.SillyTilly123 · 07/05/2013 16:28
There's a bit wasteland behind my house going all the way up the street and teenagers have taken to setting a fire on there most nights (fire engines had to be called last week) so I find I cannot leave my bedroom window open (i have it cracked open all year round otherwise i feel a bit stuffy) and then i sweat to death. But at least they have the courtesy to wait until after 7.

Op, I feel your frustration. The first good day of weather here and one of the neighbours was at it. It really pisses me off. Unfortunately they are dog rough so I wouldn't attempt to ask them to put it out, they would probably chuck me on the bloody thing!
Also, skank neighbours at the back of us have music blaring out too. Absolutely no consideration for other people. It will be like this until October like it was last year. Except this time I'm reporting them to Env.Health. I've had enough

Bleh horrible, good idea to report them though because it's much more anonymous which means they won't be able to throw you on the fire phew
I am a renter and I am moving in the next few weeks so I will just let it go but I hope you manage to get results, do post here if you do, would be lovely to hear of a success story dealing with really inconsiderate neighbours!
