Today the roles were reversed.
A few of us were minding our own business working away on our plots when a pungent acrid smell of something burning wafted across swiftly followed by thick grey/black smoke.
A swift check soon established in was not emanating from a plot but from the back garden of a neighbouring house.
It really was so smoky and smelly that a lady plot holder nearest the offending residence went and complained.
They were burning what appeared to be fence panels and posts that were so old it looked as if they had been coated in creosote.
Complaint was to no avail, attitude was we want to do it today.
I now have a sore throat

The danger when people start to believe their own publicity is that they often fall off their own ego.
At least travelling under the guise of the Pa Snip Enterprise gives me an excuse for appearing to be on another planet

Pa, you should have called the fire brigade and asked them to force the owner to put out the fire. A not dissimilar act happened to somebody living near here a few years ago when an individual started burning noxious stuff in his garden during the daytime. The fire brigade turned up with their hoses, sniffed air and just reduced his garden to a pool of smelly liquid within a couple of minutes ! . No idea what it was he was burning but the bonfire didn.t last very long !
