Having been "guilty" of having the odd bonfire, surely it is common courtesy to check the neighbours washing lines and windows, and NOT lighting one in the summer months as most normal people have their windows open. Those that are inconsiderate deserve some sort of reprimand, be it by the council, police, or very annoyed neighbour! I am quite sure that if smoke from a bonfire traverses across any public highway and obscures visibility (you can exaggerate the extent!) then a police visit is usually warranted and the person responsible is usually asked to extinguish the fire!
-yes, this did happen to me about ten years ago when I burnt some hedge cuttings on the Isle of Wight!

where we used to live we used to have this guy who lived at the bottom of the garden and he used to have huge fires.he could clearly see i had washing on the line infact it was a load of baby blankets.yet he stilll had a fire no warning what so ever .so my oh went and seen him and said nect time can you please tell us that you are having one if we have washing on the line.
well a few months later there was a fire again no warning.lets just say i was glad i had a outside tap with a very long hose :wink:
