    An expensive way of heating the sky.  I wouldn't bother.

    I thi k it was for the atmosphere of it and he thought he could barbecue on it. Sort of.

    We are heating our atmosphere enough without these as well!  Confidential documents can be shredded and recycled. Sorry, but I don’t like them 😀

    I've always thought they were dangerous things to have around with children, or adults who've had a bit to drink
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    Ouch! You don’t have to tell us about recycling .. everything here is recycled. We are very environmentally responsible. Almost all paper is recycled in one way or another ... shredded and composted or shredded and used for stable bedding and then composted.  I’m talking about a  few (very few) small receipts with some bank details on ... lit on one or two evenings a year to keep mozzies away if I sit outside. 😎

    Sorry Dove... I should have remembered from your previous posts.  I’m just feeling a bit helpless about everything atm.

    No probs @Asarum ... don’t feel helpless ... we can only do what we can do ... if the others don’t,  well it’s their look out ... if the world isn’t here in 50 years time it won’t be my fault, I’m doing what I can and anyway ... I won’t be here by then. 😊

    On the recycling - I even have a bamboo toothbrush. I recycle as much as is possible and avoid plastic packaging etc. Mr B is only burning some wood felled from his father's land ( had to be done) and I'm using twigs from pruning. All is dry but personally I think it smokes too much. Will probably be used as a flowerpot by me, expensive o e though.
