Is everyone in the UK getting the stench of firelighters & burnt meat wafting through their house tonight?

Question

OK - this is now the following evening and the same 4 houses have BBQs in their garden. Don't they get as sick of eating the badly cooked cheap cuts of meat as I do SMELLING them being cooked.

I DO like the idea of a catch your own barbie on the beach - shame I'm so far from the sea!

P.S. Tried a rain dance - didn't seem to work here - maybe it's working for someone else though!

Answer 1

Yes - have shut the bloomin windows. And no, we had a takeaway, not BBQ.

Answer 2

No barbies here too cold.

Answer 6

I'm in the US, so really not too knowledgeable about the geography of Europe, but . . .  is it possible that the smoke from the fires in Greece is reaching the UK?

Update: Friendly little tip for RobinLu. Get a map of Europe and have a look. It's remarks like yours that give Americans a bad name!

Not this weekend as the Minister does not normally arrange witch burnings in August as many people are on holiday and miss the examples made of those convicted of witchcraft or heresy.
