A mum is fuming after one of her neighbours decided to have a bonfire which left all of her clothes hanging outside stinking of smoke.
She said she knew the weather was nice at the weekend as she opted to put her clothes out on the line but she could not smell any smoke due to her windows and doors being shut.
When someone nearby has a bonfire the stench of the smoke can travel so many people might decide to alert their neighbours to give them a heads up that there will be a bonfire.
But, that was not the case for this woman.

"I was in all weekend with the windows shut so didn't smell any fires. I've had to rewash the lot. I'm fuming."
She went onto say that there is no law around people having bonfires in their back garden but was still not happy at all of her clothes smelling of smoke.
"Yes I've lit fires but always after dark or after 8pm in summer," she wrote.
In response, many were quick to jump to her aid and agree it is very annoying when neighbours decide to have bonfires and all of the smell gets on your clothes.
One person wrote: "Yes they are totally selfish. I've got one near me God knows what they find to burn all the time."
While another stated: "Bonfires are very antisocial. Hate them."
A third penned: "It's selfish and rude, If you must have a bonfire etc at least warn the neighbours."
Somebody else was sympathetic to her and wrote: "My neighbours have one both days every weekend so I can never put any washing out."
