Yes, perhaps between yesterday afternoon and this morning the council did speak to them. I didnt htink they moved that fast for anything! But perhaps your right

I am chuffed anyway. They have even planted a tree

Ken, how i WISH my council were as on-the-ball as that.

I phoned them yesterday and they said they would 'go and have a word'

Wether they have or not i am not sure, what i do know is that the neighbours son went out there (in the rain heheh) and dismantled the bonfire, removed a ridiculous amount of wire, metal, melted plastic and what not from the pile, he has spread the ash, laid some soil and put a few ornaments down! No More Bonfire!!!!

I am going to phone the council today and let them know but i am so pleased. I took photos of him removing the bonfire, complete with mattress springs/bedsprings coming out of the ashes and no less than three bin-bags of metal and cr@p being removed.

I will keep the photos and keep the log, just in case anything of the sort happens again.

Really it would have been nice to see them recycling the metal and stuff but ah well, better than them burning more

Thanks for the advice guys, I am just chuffed with the outcome

thnaks guys, i have no problem with them having bonfires, its always after 6pm so no worries about washing or what not. Its the fact that they think a mattress is good 'burning' material and feel that a healthy alternative to recycling is to burn plastic!

I will continue to take photos of them burning plastic, i have informed the Environmental Health and i hope something is done quickly.

Grrr some people just have no respect for the planet, i have gone a bit 'lioness' about my childrens health too. not what want to envoke in a heavily pregnant woman with a toddler

thanks guys xx

Hello all! Havent been on here for a while, what with making babies and doing the 'traditional housewife' thing!

Who would have thunk it!

You'll be pleased to know i let him watch sport at the weekend, have his tea cooked when he gets home from work and all he has to do is sort the recycling!

I dont wear yellow dresses though, i draw the line at that

Anyhoo! I wondered if you lovely fine people would help me, we have recently moved into a new house, its lovely but our very dim neighbours do not seem to understand the issues that arise from burning rubbish. I have spoken to them about it, given them leaflets and what not but they have continued to burn plastic, metal and so on on the bonfire.

I spoke to Environmental Health this morning who seem to think the best thing for me to do would be to take a log of each time they burn and what they burn. Thats fine.

I have been taking photos of their bonfire and only their bonfire, i wondered if this could get me in any trouble and, if it does, if there is a way around that? Can i say, take a photo of my whole garden that happens to include their bonfire (this would not be hard) or am i okay to collect evidence in this manner?

I would not take photos of people only mattresses ready to burn etc

Any advice greatly appreciated xx

All are gone now apart from the Vivitar!

Anyone want it? Its in good nick (probably not great condition actually but absolutely fine all the same) no fungus or issues, still clean and no marks or dents

Will definitely take an offer...

It does not have SMC written on it and has a red button

thank you for helping clear that up!

Also someone has just emailed me and are correct in saying i have made a mistake in the second listing

the Lens reads

SMC Pentax-M 1:2 50mm

Sorry about that x

Everything I have written is the only thing written on the lens Apart from an issue number and a gold sticker

how would i know Algernon?

- I can't find this lens for sale anywhere... I think i would like £35 + postage as i seem to remember it costing me quite a lot about 5 years ago, if you think this price is too high (or low ) then please contact me because i honestly can't quite remember what i paid for it!

Last up,

Pentax-F zoom 1:35 - 4.5 28-80mm

This is an older lens and does auto-focus on modern DSLRs

its a lovely lens But when i bought it i did so with a small scratch on the glass, it is in a place which means it does not affect the pictures and having used it i can confirm this

Again i cannot remember What i paid for it...

£30+ postage?

Lastly, we have a

I also have a 2x multiplier, which i will give away free for postage to anyone who wants it

P.S i dont come on often but i have done business with a couple of folk here and have never had any problems - i can provide pictures later, just in the process of moving so its all a bit awkward.

Thanks
