...as normally quite 'behaved' individuals and couples...even in their 'respectable' years, have taken 'give them a middle finger' attitude??!!
In our site people are lighting off fires as and when they want..regardless where the wind blow and how much smoke..it is not 'dry' stuff as it is 'advised' but all manner of stink creating material!
Our members are generally well behaved lot..there is always the odd one or two that are the rebels and give us some head ache for one reason or two, but that is norm in everybody's site..there always have to be one.
But this summer, it must be the heat, we've had quite few 'nice' people that have decided not care and do as they please, or even challenge their 'rights' or see how far they can push their luck..! :BangHead: It is like some are under influence of something..!?
Or perhaps it is in water...and eating all the fruit and veg ,they have consumed the 'what ever is the cause'.... or perhaps somebody is adding some 'weeds' in their fires and the drifting smoke will send rest of 'us' in frenzy... :dontknow:
Any unusual behaviour detected on your site? Maybe it is weather related, it should then show signs nations wide. Are Brits not so suited for all this extended summer weather!?
Uhh...back to make some phone calls and no doubt we have meeting soon...and then writing letters...just stuff one could live without!!!! :BangHead: :angry4: Bring back some hail, rain, snow and freezing weather and let some minds to calm down...PLEASE!
I haven't noticed it!
Sometimes people have fires to clear weeds and sometimes the weeds aren't dry and cause a smelly smoke. But it doesn't seem to be happening more this year than in previous years ... I see messy bonfires as part of allotmenting - not an indication that the people having the bonfires are on drugs!
But I suppose if it's against the rules of your site then maybe you should have a word with them.
While its not unknown for folk round here to set fire to a little "weed", those I fear for chew celery seeds and recite endless gibberish while waiting for the bus back.
Lol...celery seeds.. :toothy10:
Well..weather is tad cooler and I hope it will cool down some attitudes too. People from neighbouring houses have sent few letters about 'our' fires so now we have some more 'concrete' to throw back at those that have played rebels, rather than just committee's complaints..there might be some chance that they take more notice of their 'achievements'.
I've even played with though of putting up portable little barbeque on front of those people houses who have been smoking us (who live next to allotments)..and chucking whole load of green plant waste on hot coals..filling their houses with acrid smoke and see how they like it as 'air freshener'... :evil4:
Hmm...maybe I should try some celery seed myself.. maybe it will bring blessed state of mind..rather that than carrying on ranting.. :drunken_smilie:
