FIRE!

I cut down 2 pyracantha 3-4 weeks ago, rather than wrestle them into short pieces to go in the recycling bags, which they rip open with the thorns, I dumped it in my incinerator and pushed it down with the garden fork. This afternoon on a whim I decided to spray it with barbecue fluid and light it, then the phone rang. Next thing I know my doorbell is being blasted, went to answer door thinking "who the b!@@$% he!!s ringing like that, my neighbour from about 50 yards away had seen the smoke and thought the bungalow was on fire , her husband was trying to get over my 8 ft fence, I explained it was an intended burn and thanked them very much for caring.

 

Ooops !! You will have to invite them round next time to toast some marshmallows

 

Nice to hear you have nice neighbours , Here they would give you some petrol and watch you burn, herd one of our neighbours talking once and this is what they have said about some one else, " I wouldn't even pee on them if they were on fire"

 

Aww, that is nice that they were concerned, rather have a false alarm, than have to contact a next of kin.
