Good links, I see that St Albans has no smoke control zone

You live on a main road, a bit of wood smoke is the least of your worries!

[AmDismal]

The particulates from wood burners are surprisingly high compared to diesel iirc

[coco]

Not where you live, lol.

[pmac]

The particulates may be higher, but I bet the increased exposure level from traffic is off the scale

[murrayjohnson]

You obviously haven’t stood next to my Passat when it starts.

coal drops yard - a wall of face

[flapland]

I assume are you going to have a listen to the LV system in Spiritland and visit the new record store in the Coal Drops.

[anon14766838]

been in Spiritland loads of times - we’re on our way to a distillery

we walked through coal drops and never saw a record shop

[flapland]

Sounds a nice way to blot out the afternoon

Record Shop which I think is Normans is on the Granary Square side down the steps. There is a bar next door I believe.

made to special recipes

and beware of cats serving gin

[Gyroscope]

We appear to have been there at exactly the same time as you.

Great hipsters think alike.

[stu]

Maybe it’s just me,but i found gin to have the same taste as what i’d expect paco rabanne or similar to have

@coco

Actually I would say it’s the opposite. It makes it more of a worry. Especially as @AmDismal says it’s a lifestyle trend thing not a necessity. Burning logs cause it looks pretty hmmm.

[coco]

On a main road, the contribution to local air pollution from log burners will be tiny vs that from traffic. Banning them won’t make a difference to the local level if you live in such a location vs banning traffic or moving somewhere like where I live (a village) where there are lots of log burnerrs, but far, far less traffic. I’ll bet my house that the air quality here is better than at Adam’s in central St Albans.

[flapland]

Suspect air quality is dependent on if the Turan has been visited the day before.
