Re: Today's "What Gets My Goat" - tommyardin - 21-05-18
As BB said it depends on the local authorities. Some areas you are not allowed to burn ordinary household coal but it has to be smokeless, not sure about logs.
We retained one open fireplace in my house in our front sitting room (Posh people call it a lounge) the open fire makes a real focal point and creates a nice warm atmosphere.

We had the same problem where I used to live the idiot had a gardening business and rather than pay tipping charges for his business waste he used to burn it most evenings in summer burning weeds and grass stinks and the smoke hung on wind lass nights. I spoke to the t**t but no change so reported him to environmental health along with several of the neighbours. He was served with an enforcement notice to stop the fires he had no choice but had to comply. Best do these things the legal way rather than the way most of us would like too.
Burning weeds and grass could be classed as a vegetarians BBQ. :lol
Re: Today's "What Gets My Goat" - steve 10562cc - 22-05-18
Could also depend on the type of grass that was burning. :eek

Logs are now 'green' if you burn them in an approved log burner - we also burn smokeless coal as we had a multi-fuel stove installed but when we bought the house it had an open fire and I used the coal that was in the tumbled down coal bunker and OMG did it smoke! I had to mix it in with smokeless stuff to get rid of it.

They are trying to implement that but for existing log burners/fires, dry wood is OK anyway. Its the damp stuff that spits, farts and smokes a lot.

people who are at traffic lights, and when the light sequence turns to green they are never ready to pull away, most annoying.
Re: Today's "What Gets My Goat" - Hugh Mungus - 23-05-18
Car drivers that slow down for speed cameras when they are already going 20mph less than the limit!!!!
The one that did it tonight nearly had 44 tonnes of lorry to help speed him back up again.

Took me a while to spot it

I spotted it but didn't want any further info thank you...

Preposed £2000 extra tax per household to properly fund the NHS when they are giving £15 billion pounds of our hard earned money in foreign aid away every year. It's about time those supposedly running this country looked after there own people first.

Why are they giving it all away to other countries as "foreign aid" when it feels like half the population of those (3rd world) countries are already IN the UK anyway! :rolleyes
