The Co-op have removed disposable barbecues from sale and say they won't put them back until the drought is over and it's rained again.
Southern Co-op, which has 12 stores in Bristol, and another five in the surrounding area, said it was removing the disposable barbecues from 199 stores across the south of England because of the increased fire risk at the moment.
The store's chief executive, Mark Smith, said they were taken the measure - also announced by Marks & Spencer last week - to 'protect the environment at a time of greatly increased risk of fire'.
