    The people in the caravan at the back of my garden to that: all through the Winter!! :rrant:

    :heehee: that's why I prefer that word: you get to turn a negative into a positive ;)
    Although, why anyone would want Vixgra when they are with a virago is beyond my imagination! :heehee:

        my next door neighbours do this every single effing day for the 6 weeks hols, if not a bonfire, its a fecking bbq at 12 and it don't go out until at least 4/5 :mad:

        or so it seems.. I don't mind a bonfire/bbq once in a while but jeez, it's relentless.

                        We have to. too much from all our trees. don't have a pic handy. but they are huge when we light it finally. I always pull the hose down to it, just in case.
