• THE beautiful sunny Easter weekend was ruined down my street by foul-smelling pollution from at least four barbecues in neighbouring gardens.

If there are to be any benefits in the form of lovely sunny afternoons, resulting from global warming, they will be completely offset by these urban charcoal barbarians poisoning their friends with half-cooked chicken and sausages, drinking to excess, and stinking out the neighbourhood. They should be banned.
