The government is to ban wet firewood.
Best of luck trying to enforce that!

Well figures say wood burning stoves produce over thirty times as many
particulates per hour as diesel engines so they should be banned!

Yours included!

I think wood burning stoves can be quite efficient if made properly, but
half the time its just put in by the trendy folk and those who have a ready
form of wood to burn, but really, we got into the pollution mess in the
first place due to the poor methods of combustion which produced smoke and
sulphurous pollution. If you are as old as I am you will remember the
smog's that were yellow and it was even inside the houses and any mask or
filter you used, mainly scarves and handkerchiefs ended up yellow.
We do not want to get back to those conditions again.

The problem is the particle size. Diesel engines produce very small particles which can get into the body cells. They are coated in chemicals which cause cancer.
Also heart disease, DNA damage, asthma, emphysemia etc etc.

But that's a trademark harry post... make an assertion, then link to an

Yes and I'm expecting a post from Harry pointing to the brightfart site explaining how mulsim terrosists are smuggling wet firewood into the UK.

Maybe he has 'Copy and Paste' [1] Tourettes? ;-)

[1] As opposed to the 'Cut and paste' that many people say they are
using but actually aren't (eg, that is actually technically wrong,
rather than just weird like the Mrs referring to a 'Brush and dustpan'
rather than the correct way, 'dustpan and brush'. ;-)

Well it does not have to be wrong, so long as you allow for multiple
paste activities to be covered by the "& paste" bit...

For example, some of the (very good) VAX/VMS editors did not actually
support "copy" as such - only cut. However there were dedicated "insert
here" and "Remove" keys right next to each other on the keyboards of
most VT terminals. So it became second nature to hit remove and insert
in sequence to do the "copy" (i.e. to delete the block and put it back
again), then you moved to the target location for your paste operation,
and hit insert again.

You can do the same in many PC based editors with shift Delete & Shift
Insert in sequence.

No, possibly not, but generally is in context. Like I have seen it
here when people have said 'Cut and paste it from the website' when
they only have ordinary user rights.

For example, some of the (very good) VAX/VMS editors did not actually
support "copy" as such - only cut. However there were dedicated "insert
here" and "Remove" keys right next to each other on the keyboards of
most VT terminals. So it became second nature to hit remove and insert

Understood.

Ah, more fancy keyboard incantations that I'm only likely to use by
mistake. ;-)

A few years ago they kept on talking about wet back benchers, so obviously
being a little damp could be a trend.
