From the Bolton Evening News, first published Friday 15th Aug 1997.
SIR: It nearly worked! I refer to the letter headed: Ban these barbeques (Your views, August 12).
We almost believed that there is some one out there who really thinks people eat "out of date food, stale bangers, and stale meat" on their barbeque.
I am an asthma sufferer and have been to many barbeques without suffering any discomfort from the "pollution" from them.
I am neither a cowboy, nor an indian, just a normal everyday bloke with a family who share the same views as millions of normal folk in this country.
Unfortunately, there are some very sad and misguided people who seem intent on trying to stop the rest of the world enjoying themselves. If Mr Collin Gaynor of Greenburn Drive Harwood is serious about his hilarious letter to the Your views column I am sure that the rest of us normal people would have a whip round at the next barbeque and send him to a desert island where he and anyone else in his club can live off B.S.E free coconuts and breathe all the fresh air he needs for the rest of his very interesting life.
