Re: What on earth are they thinking?
Are they a law unto themselves in the North of Ireland? it is against the law to dispose of tyres in this manner. The toxic fumes will be terrible for the poor people who live near the fire, surely the powers that be will put a stop to this?

I don't know where the idea that the Irish are daft comes from.

Re: What on earth are they thinking?
Here's a photograph of a thousand tyres on fire.

With the wind currently blowing from the west, and this pyre containing much more than a thousand tyres, I suggest we all close our windows tonight.

Re: What on earth are they thinking?
I'd hate to live anywhere near it. Surely something can be done to stop them? It's madness. Look how close it is to that house!

Ian, don't forget that the "powers that be" are/is Ian Paisley. He's probably going to light it!
Incidentally, nice to see a Union Flag fluttering outside someone's house there!

Re: What on earth are they thinking?
I hope they're going to plant a few trees afterwards, to make up for all the carbon emission.
