A Healthy & Safety form arrived today which made us laugh.
Questions - to
a nursery where everyone works either outdoors or in large glasshouses:
"how many of your workers smoke; do you set aside a special area for
your
workers to smoke?" I'm not quite sure that 'back of the bonfire
sites'
is
what they're looking for as an answer. ;-)

Not quite the same thing but I filled out a DTI form for export
statistics
stating that we had exported 1 milligram of a weird organic chemical at
£1800 which translated through their system at £1800,000,000 per ton.
(£1.8bn?)
We had vast fun with the men from the Ministry until they realised we
were
not the saviours of the British Economy.

Sorry I digress, this doesn't help with your problem.
Do *not* mention the bonfire. Environmental pollution act (as
amended.......subsec......para...............)


Groan! Another horrible possibility - except that I think nurserymen,
horticulturists, agriculturists etc. are allowed bonfires. ;-)

Does that mean I'm not?

Anyone can have a bonfire-but if the smoke causes a nuisance and someone
complains to the
EPA then you can get into deep trouble.
AFAIK there are no exclusions.
The same rules apply to making smells (abattoirs -muck spreading-chemical
factories-chip shops-curry houses etc etc).
There is cheap efficient technology to avoid the above problems but I dread
to think what would happen if your neighbour took a dislike to the smell of
your Honeysuckle.
