Will grass that has been on fire grow back?
Yes, the grass will grow back. When I grew up on a farm, we burned the ditches every other year to help get rid of weeds, and our grass always came back. You don't need to water it. It will come back naturally. It may not be back to lush full growth this year since the growing season is close to being gone (depending on where you live), but it will come back better than ever next year. :)

Is it legal to fire ball bearings through your neighbour’s fence using a fake Glock 18 in England?
No, no, and probably no.It is not legal to fire ball bearings through your neighbour’s fence. The act of firing ball bearings through your neighbour’s fence is criminal damage. Moreover, possession of a device used to damage or destroy the property of another (regardless of the nature of that device) is illegal under the same criminal damage laws.Finally, possession of an imitation firearm in a public place is also illegal in the UK (unless you have good reason… such as reenactment or filming). If you are shooting from your garden into your neighbour’s garden, then your possession of the imitation firearm is legal, but don’t expect this action to end well. The public at large in England are not particularly firearm-savvy, and your neighbour might not see the distinction between ‘fake Glock’ and ‘Glock’, will call the police and say how their next-door neighbour has a gun and is using it, and you will be made aware of this when several heavily armed police (who don’t carry fake guns) kick down your door. Unless you do something exceptionally stupid at that point, they probably won’t shoot you on sight, but the next few hours are going to be uncomfortable for you and then you’ll get to spend the next few years pondering on the silliness of your action from a very small room with a bucket for a toilet.
How do I claim damages to my house from fire in my neighbour’s garden?
You should contact your homeowners insurance company and explain exactly what happened. They will determine what is covered, who is responsible and what documentation is needed. If this fire began on your neighbors property and regardless of how or why it started, your insurance company will contact your neighbors insurance company and negotiate on your behalf. Copies of fire incident and investigation reports may be necessary.
How would i make a bonfire on cement/concrete without scorching the ground and making it safe?
I'm in my schools Senior Class Council and when i was a freshman we used to have this huge bonfire in the grass a week before Homecoming. But then our school was renovating and construction took place and it was discontinued for my sophomore and junior year because their was no place to have the bonfire with the construction taking place, but now that i'm a senior and the construction is over, i want to bring the Homecoming Bonfire back. If i dont bring it back, then our class will be the only class who remembers the Bonfire and it'll be forever discontinued. I talked to my teachers and deans and if i can figure out a spot and a safe way to have the bonfire, we can bring it back. The only viable area where we could have it is in the parking lot, but i need a way to have the bonfire without it scorching the cement. So do any of you yahoo answer users have any ideas on how to have this bonfire without it leaving scorch marks on the ground?
How do I own a blank firing gun in the UK?
You just go & buy one from absolutely any gun shop.No license, no torture, no nothing. It should cost between £50-£150.There is one catch though, it needs to be painted a bright colour like orange or light blue. This is because they fall under the category of emotion firearm - like airsoft guns. They’re clear, orange, blue, etc. Unless you can prove you’ve the proper licensing.as far as blanks go, you can buy them with your gun if you’re in England! Northern Ireland is different though but you’d find them much cheaper here illegally.So that’s it my friend, good luck with your cap gun & don’t listen to the clowns who haven’t got a clue what they’re on about. :)Heres a website you can order one from, he’s an absolute pleasure to deal with.https://www.grahamcurriemilitari...
In the UK Bonfire Night is fast approaching. Do you think its right that we sell explosives to any unlicensed member of the public over 18?
When I was a child growing up in England, the safety fakers and health fascists didn’t have the hold on society that they do now. There were probably ten or so British firework manufacturers, and every sweet shop and corner shop put out a tantalizing display. And every kid made a guy to collect money, and promptly spent it on fireworks, which they set off themselves. I remember buying fireworks when I was eight, and no shop keeper turned a hair. If there had been a plague of kids blowing their fingers off I’m sure we would have heard about it, but there was no such holocaust.There was a better selection of small fireworks back then, also. My favorite were little serpents that took off and flew randomly around for a few seconds before exploding. And we had these suckers - every fold is a bang and a jump in a random direction. Oh, the danger! Oh, the horror!The selection of available bangers bears witness to how popular they were. They were all black powder, no dangerous flash powder like the Chinese crackers of today.These were a tremendous favorite, but usually beyond my youthful means.All the above fireworks, and many others, are banned now, against the pathetic and mostly unjustified fear that someone, somewhere, may suffer a slight burn.The British firework makers are all gone now, most of them bought out by Bryant and May and shut down. All you can get now are Chinese goods, some of which could be quite dangerous in the hands of the ASBO crowd (though they’re all banned now, anyway). But the answer isn’t prohibition. We kids didn’t get hurt. We were used to handling fireworks, not shivering in fear because we kept being told how dangerous they were. For pete’s sake grow up, people. Living is a risk. Do you want to ban that as well?
Is the American Halloween celebration taking over bonfire night celebrations in the UK?
When I was a boy in the 1960s I do not recall Halloween being celebrated at all. Of course, we knew that 31st October was Halloween, but we did not do anything that day. By contrast, the 5th November was always a big celebration for us, though we would usually have it on the Saturday evening after 5th November. because we would have a big bonfire in the yard behind our house, let off lots of fireworks, invite some of our neighbours too, and also have food such as hot dogs, mushy peas and bonfire toffee. (We had a big yard at the back because my father had a small road haulage business and this was a lorry park, though of course we had to park the lorries as a safe distance away that evening !).As we all know here in the U.K. now, Halloween is a big event, and the children enjoy doing “trick or treat” which seems to have been imported from the U.S. over the past thirty years ago. The main difference between the present day and when I was a boy is that the shops are full of Halloween paraphernalia too - masks, make up, costumes, etc. and of course the supermarkets stock up with pumpkins so that children can buy them to make Halloween lanterns out of them.When I was a boy you would still see children going round with an effigy of Guy Fawkes in a barrow or pushchair and appealing for “penny for the guy” so that they could buy fireworks with this money, but you do not now of course. Also there were in my younger days many fireworks on sale in the shops in the weeks leading up to Bonfire Night, but now I don’t think there are as many as there used to be, and of course they are sold in boxed sets whereas in my younger days most fireworks were sold individually. I think this is because nowadays more families go to organised events with bonfires and firework displays, rather than having their own bonfire or fireworks at home. Actually I have always taken my children to an organised event, consisting of a big bonfire, a big firework display, and food and hot drinks for sale, and they have really enjoyed it.

Is it legal to practice archery in my garden in the U.K.?
Is it legal to shoot in your garden in the UK? Yes, until you injure somebody.Your garden is probably not safe enough. People could be walking through the park or boating on the Thames. Any arrow that misses the target (and that can happen to anybody) could hit one of those people. You would be subject to a criminal prosecution and probably a civil suit for huge amounts of damages. Courts tend to award large amounts where preventable stupidity cause injury.The fences blocking the other gardens almost certainly aren't high enough to prevent an arrow flying into a neighbour.If the fence were thick wood and at least 4m high and the target were set up right next to the fence (so that a ricochet from the top of the target couldn't get over the fence) then I would feel comfortable shooting there.
