6 NOW is the time of year to enjoy the occasional warm sunny evenings, to make the most of them, before our short summer is over.

There is however one particular nasty pastime that completely disregards the pleasure and well-being of the majority of people... the garden bonfire.

I would like to know what it is, that is so rewarding, to cause your neighbours to suffer the choking smoke and stench from bonfires left smouldering for hours on end.

Please give us some regard before lighting these fires. If you can't resist temptation, please wait until the wind blows in your direction. Otherwise, don't be so selfish.

K WARING,

Worcester.
