    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!!”

      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 fireplace in the forest

        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.

        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.)

      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.
