I COULD not agree more strongly with the recent letter from David Elsam asking neighbours to back off from firing up their barbecues every weekend.

I am sick and tired of my garden being turned into a smoke-filled horror every time there's an hour or two of sunshine – thanks to next door’s perpetual obsession with barbecuing.

I've never got on with them so there's not much chance of having "a quiet word" to sort thing out.

Roll on winter.
