I am in a smoke control area, everyone ignores it.

I am not going to go pissy panting to the council if someone up the street decides to light a fire.

What are the requirements in a smoke control area?

Within a smoke control area it is an offence to burn any “unauthorised” smoky fuel such as coal, coke or wood unless it is burned using an “exempt” appliance. The maximum fine for an offence is £1000.

Chopped up three tons of wood last year for a friend, yes very hard work and the kindling was the easy part.

Pah. Not me. I have lots of wood about the place. Got it into my head I wanted to chop it up.

Harder work than it looks, apparently.

They'd just get all excited rubbing it together...

I got a thorough sweeping, and worked out how to light a fire. Nice!

To the horror of friends and family, I also bought an axe to make (?) kindling. Limbs all intact, and only one small dent in the side of the car where some wood pinged into it. Ahem.
