Questions to which the answer is "Yes"

"Meanwhile, are they going to ban barbecues and bonfires?" , asks Simon Clark of Forest in response to this deluge of propaganda.

Yes of course! They already more-or-less banned gas fuelled patio heaters, what makes you think they're going to stop any time soon?

Whether they were ever actually officially made illegal is doubtful, but you can't buy the things at your normal garden superstore any more.

BQ, don't make jokes about that. A friend of friends of mine killed himself doing that. He was a really nice bloke and everthing.

I thought bonfires were banned already, except on November the 5th.

It appears that Tesco are made of sterner stuff.

B, everything's banned unless it's allowed.
