Guest guest Posted October 31, 2001 Report Share Posted October 31, 2001 as you live in London I would think there are " smoke free " bylaws or things of that sort... there certainly were where we lived. You were not supposed to burn wood and ordinary coal in fireplaces, (we would cheat occasionally and put a log on top of the smokeless fuel as it smelt so nice!!) Not sure how these affect garden bonfires though -maybe they are allowed?! _________________ Angi 0:-) > > Isn't there any kind of law against this pollution and nuisance? > > Ruthie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he's a lawyer so I asked him about bonfires and the law, and he mentioned the Clean Air Act, and that it probably *is* illegal, but as we live in a closely knit Jewish street and all the neighbours are friends, we can't really shop them to the council. I might mention it sweetly to the neighbour tho, in a non-aggressive way. Like clutching my throat and looking half asphyxiated might work! LOL!

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2001 Report Share Posted November 1, 2001 Sorry to hear you are being afflicted Ruthie; I thought there were rules from different councils about when bonfires could be lit - partly as a neighbour once told me I shouldn't do them until after 6pm, which seemed illogical at best re timing - could you try ringing the council? Caro (often guilty on this score but there is more air here somehow or fewer people at any rate. The horses next door some times whinny a bit when they smell smoke.) Punc tuated by Toby " why did you say Toby? " " what does that say? " ;-) Re: bonfires > as you live in London I would think there are " smoke free " bylaws or > things of that sort... there certainly were where we lived.

Oh not going to bother, it's all over now, and my car didn't get covered in white ash a second time just after taking it to be washed, so it's just my choking and coughing. Zehava accused me of smoking in the bedroom last night! that's how bad it was. If it happens again I will probably kick up a stink. (pun pun).
