bonfires

[Guest guest]

There should be a law against bonfires; I'm not referring to the

Guy Fawkes kind, but to the kind that gardeners light, to get rid of

mountains of garden refuse. My neighbour across the street is

apparently having her garden done; we have been subjected to a pall

of thick choking smoke over our street all day today, and I am just

recovering from a chest infection. I can't close my bedroom window

entirely; it's stuck, but even if I could, I would suffocate without

fresh air. But the smoke is everywhere, it covered my car with blobs

of white ash this morning, so I had it washed thinking the bonfire

would be over by this afternoon, but it isn't. I am coughing, my

eyes smart, and everything stinks. And I'm *indoors* with only one

window a crack open.

Isn't there any kind of law against this pollution and nuisance?
