After a glorious day spent in the country with my cousins, walking down deserted lanes, breathing in the lovely clear air of West Cork we came home to the same neighbour burning rubbish again. My wife Jacinta has gone down to someone in the residents association to talk about it. Grrr. (Also posted on my ocaoimh.ie post) Yippee!

But you decided to check with them first if there was a problem. Remind them that they are not supposed to burn rubbish and that if it happens again you will call the fire brigade to put it out. Also there are call out charges for the fire brigade which are not cheap...

Sabrina's suggestion is a good one, but it may not resolve the issue. I would add "I'll just have to stay up some night to find out who's doing it" so they know you're going to be actively monitoring the situation.

I'm going to call to them during the week with my baby boy in my arm with a printout of the Fijitimes article above. I noticed this morning that Adam's bedroom window sill, which was painted only last year, is covered in little black dots ... My office sill is almost as bad.

I do like Sabrina's approach. Maybe follow up with a "Well, the council are on the case, so hopefully they'll get to the bottom of it".

As a slight a point of correction, I believe that 57% is closer to 7 in 12 (58.3%) than 5 in 12 (41.7%) or expressed slightly more accurately, 8 in 14 (57.1%). :) Sabrina has it right on the nose!

"Hello, lovely warm neighbour with who I have had previous burning rubbish incident. Just popping by to ask: are you noticing soot or ash in your back garden? I'm just asking because I'm trying to determine which house it's coming from so I can report it to the council." Neighbour: "Blah blah blah no idea wasn't me blah blah..." "Ah, well, thank you anyway. I'm going to have to keep investigating as it's becoming a problem for my infant son's breathing when it happens. Please let me know if you find anything out."
