COBRA meeting:

Burnham: "right guys we need to show them we mean business"

Minister 1: "I've got it. We send them a scary alert"

Burnham: "Thats it!!"

Minister 2: "Why don't we emergency ban open flames! Stop drilling the north sea! Immediately move away from fossil fuels?"

Burnham: "Whoa there! We're on our Summer hols, remember!!"

Disposable BBQ?

[-] kazerniel@piefed.zip 22 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

very popular in the UK - an aluminium tray with charcoal inside that you can BBQ on and throw away afterwards - they are often just left behind wherever the fuckers made their campfire in the forest

And they say us Americans are wasteful, SMH!

spoiler(We have that disposable crap too, although I think enough of us have real grills that the disposable ones aren't as popular.)

am I the only one who has used a disposable grill for quite some time? I had one of those mike ditka paper grills in college to.

They’re absolutely useless as well. Only cause issues and produce less than mediocre food. I’d be happy if they just straight up banned them.

[-] kazerniel@piefed.zip 2 points 1 week ago

well, they are now temporarily banned - if we keep getting these dry summers it may become permanent

Is it just me or does that entire article not have a single picture of a disposable BBQ?

If there's one thing that this whole debacle has taught me, is that there's a lot of people that don't know what a disposable BBQ is.
