      "Terrifying fire burns an area nearly as big as suburban lawn." How very English.

      It was very odd being near Yosemite a few years back driving through smoke and this being fairly normal to everyone else.

          Not sure Yosemite has much in the way of farming.

            Blooming small lawns you have round your way!

              Mine is much bigger but one has to consider the common man.

                Sainsburys and Tescos have stopped selling disposable BBQs due to the fire brigade waring. Luckily Tescos sells small portable ones instead so d000hg you can still BBQ.

                  Hmmm. Going to a volunteer BBQ this evening - on the Ashdown Forest! A few years ago a fire was started by some volunteers.

                      They volunteered to start the fire?

                      Very inconvenient, I have a lot of garden rubbish to burn but I don't want to a)be the idiot who has to call the fire brigade when their garden fire gets out of hand b)get people reporting a fire and have a fire engine turn up
                      Although it's going to rain all weekend so I'll do it after that has dried a bit.
