I don't grill when it rains. I don't dine in the garage. But it does
make sense to have the grill near the kitchen. There's an inside table
and four chairs!

I guess so. I can't say I ever really notice where people have their
grills. Or even if they have grills.

The way UK supermarket till are laid out, it's impossible NOT to see
what the person in front loads onto the belt; there's nothing else to do
while you wait.

I know people behind me often watch what I'm putting on the belt
because some of them ask

"What is that ? (fruit or veg, green lentils, barley, soya products,
dates)

or

"what animal is that and what are you going to do with it? "(liver,
belly pork, oxtail).

IMO, it's not being nosy. Like you say, just nothing else to look
at.

I go to the store often so sometimes just to pick up a few
things. Don't judge what I am buying. I've got plenty more items
at home. I *always* shop very early morning too. You wouldn't
believe the comments I get if I add some beer to the cart.
People see beer at 6:30am and assume I'll run right home and
start drinking it. lol

The law here is that we are not allowed to buy alcohol until 10am

I have seen quite a few people here in mid-country grilling in front of their house, as in the
driveway. Nothing odd about it. They may not have a concrete patio, so it is safer than on a
wooden deck. I don't see why it even draws a question.

I don't understand why Gary is questioning it, either. The driveway is
next to the garage which is next to the kitchen. I can't see traipsing
through the house carrying food to get a grill on the back patio.

Grilling on a wooden deck is ill advised. Grilling in a small fenced
area is also ill advised.

I once lived in a second storey apartment with a wooden balcony. I
would sit outside and read when I came home from work. The man who
lived below me had a small fenced patio and a grill. The man's children
decided to surprise their (weekend) father, who was not home, by
grilling a chicken. They lit the grill, put a chicken on it, then went
inside and completely ignored it.

They didn't realize it flared up and was shooting flames under my wooden
balcony. I grabbed a fire extinguisher and ran down and killed the
flaming chicken. They could have set the entire building on fire. Sheesh.

The funny thing to me is that you keep going on and on about it.
You jump right on every post where someone agrees with you. I
struck a nerve didn't I, Jill? ;-D Bottom line, I'll bet your
grill in the garage probably has about 5 years worth of dust on
it. You would rather pan-steam a good steak in your kitchen.

In Virginia, law says no buying alcohol between midnight and 6am.

Here in Scotland, in the supermarket we can't buy alcohol between 10pm and
10 am.

I don't know about pubs, restaurants etc.

In Michigan, we can't buy alcohol between 2 am and 7 am.

Here's a summary for all of the states:

We lived in a couple different apartment buildings and bbqing on the
balcony was not allowed. My mother lived in a condo that had several
gas BBQs on a common patio in a sunken garden. There was nothing but
concrete and brick for 30 feet around it.

my grill.

Bullshit. You're the one dragging this out. Questioning where I store
the grill? Why on earth do you care?

I'm equally sure it doesn't.

I'm guessing you never made a sauce for a pan fried steak in your life.
Never heard of steak au poivre? Of course not.

You admit to trying to stir things up here. You think it's cute. Trust
me, it's not.

There's a reason for that. You really don't want any sort of grill near
or on a wooden structure.

What about bars? Liquor laws vary a lot from place to place. They have
certainly loosened up here over the last 40 years. We now have stand up
bars. Still can't buy liquor to go here.

These were concrete structures, but they can still be dangerous.

Nothing worse than a filthy mouth on an OLD man or woman IMO.

Yeah it's just so played out really.

I mean you can feel the spittle and grog, but you also can just walk
away and shake your head.

If you're going to go off on someone you have to make it real and sharp
or blunt.

But that's just me going all "butty"...lol...

Weird. I don't think I've had a customer ask me very often what I am buying.
Cashiers often do. Especially produce if they don't know what it is. They
seem not to know the difference between a rutabaga and a turnip for
instance.

I don't generally notice what people have in their shopping carts. I
don't pay much attention to what they're wearing, either. I did notice
when I walked into a store last summer and saw an older [than me] woman
wearing 'Daisy Dukes' and a bikini top. I'm guessing she was either on
her way to or just coming back from the beach. I'd have thrown on a
T-shirt or something.

A bit different. No store sales between midnight and 6am. We can
buy drinks in a bar up until 1:30 am but that's to drink there
and not take home. Bars have to close at 2am so they make their
last call at 1:30 to give patrons time to down one more before
they get kicked out.

Back in my occasional 'surfer's bar' days, I only made it to
closing twice.

Or drink until the bar or store opens, but I imagine most serious drinkers
are well stocked at home and have no need to rush out between those hours.

Yes, that would definitely be something I notice, like an older woman a few
years ago that had short shorts on and a small part of her butt cheeks
drooping below the hemline, or an obese man with most of his stomach hanging
out below his shirt, those are sort of in your face.

In the old days you could buy a few bottles of beer to go when the bar was
closing, but I don't know about now.
