Any fire is safe until it isn’t....an no amount of firefighters and equipment in the world can stop an out of control fire in these tinder dry conditions. I personally wouldn’t risk any fire in any sort of forest or undergrowth setting

Some friend thought to burn some garden waste in the Algarve, no prob if you are careful, they thought. Nothing like as hot and dry as Greece is at the mo. Well, by the time the Bombeiros arrived the fire had consumed a hectare of low brush. They were very lucky their house was not involved.
Such activaties are banned here too and you are obliged to clear areas of scrub 'in case'.

It does surprise me that plumbs has survived contact with the human race for so long without serious injury and disfigurement.

He has survived contact by being the blunt end of the spear

I am surprised no one has taken the spear off him and inserted it sharp end first up his fundament.

Multiple wild fires around the town where I live, yesterday. Housing estates and hotels evacuated, roads closed leading to traffic chaos. Thankfully all seem to be under control by lunchtime today. No idea what caused them but I'm sure one or two were caused by "careful" individuals who knew what they were doing.

I would seriously doubt your ability to asess risk, not to mention common sense. The island that you visit has to make rules to ,protect against accidents and can't set rules that allow people to think they know 'better' in individual cases.

But, BP 's early posts had some interest and content, now,he just wants to provoke people. Noddy cars... Bit sad.

It depends on the environment in which the restaurant is located. But I will agree with your sentence above though, the one about small brains....
