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?!

DH just phoned to cancel proposed trip to Brent X to buy him a new

suit for the wedding; that man will go around looking like a tramp if

I let him! 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! :)

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?

(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.)

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).
