Do you plan on starting a fire in someones pants?

[Mr. Mulder]

srysly though, do ewe need permishun from the police in engerland to start a fire on the ground on a public beach?

Depends who owns the beach. NT run beaches you not allowed to hav fires but cant really stop it. Best you can hope for is that people clean up after themselves.

[Mr. Mulder]

does it say on the internets who owns eastbourne beach?

[enoughfakefiles]

Will they not let you have they're sausages or something

Legally you can start a fire on any beach in the UK, so long as it is made using driftwood from that beach. The basis being that all you are doing is converting deadwood to ashes, which will break down quicker. This was successfully argued in Regina v Basset et alia

I just made that up btw. Cool or what.

[Mr. Mulder]

oh ffs, i might as well google it

[CrabGirl]
