I was thinking that the theme might be towns or cities in Devon with "mouth" removed from the end.
We started with Ply, we could then go on to Sid, Ex, Ax, Lyn and East Portle.

Maps of Devon are currently available on a world-wide basis! It's one of the few positives to come out of the internet.

Fascinating!
My intent was 'renter' without 'R'

That would have been more obvious, yes ...

Just witnessed the "Sankt Hans" festivities in Jutland, Denmark where a puppet is burnt on a bonfire: Google Photos[^]

I looks like, those standing around are taking it seriously. Nothing festive in that picture I can see...

better than the budists we got here,
they'll set fire to a mountain of paper and walk away - leaving the neighbors to enjoy the clouds of smoke blowing into their homes. (the burners were smart enough to close their own windows - and no they never bother to warn even their closest neighbors.)
- it's supposed to be honoring their relatives - enriching them by burning "hell money" - made from the shittiest cheapest quality recycled (laced with god knows what) paper.
here they've made smoking a tiny cigarette illegal almost everywhere even outside on some streets, but burning a heap of stinking recycled paper next to schools (yes pre-school/child care centers too), shops, eating houses (many open air), bus stops, AND EVEN THOSE NON SMOKING STREETS... all good.

Put up a BBQ in a Dutch city, and you have the same problems; people complaining about stench and smoke, and every year there's a few shouting that it should be illegal to charcoal-BBQ.
Outside the cities things are simpler. If you want to BBQ you don't just warn your neighbours, you invite them over to join.

Really? I love the smell of BBQ and I dislike BBQing (because a kitchen is so much easier and I don't like it outside) and I'm a veggie 
The downside, of course, is that my neighbors go outside and I can hear them when I have my door open.
All in all I'm done with summer and ready for autumn

It is easier to just order food, so why do you have a kitchen?
A small one-time-use grill costs less than 5 euros, perfect for a picnic. And best of all - almost no dishes to clean!
Sander Rossel wrote: and I'm a veggie
So? Throw some unions, carrots and radishes on there, along with a potato, a portobello-mushroom and a tofu-burger. Add some pickles, good sauce, and toast some bread.
Easy, delicious, meat-free, and will taste better than a stuffed witch

The costs don't outweigh the benefits.
I can't order healthy food where I live anyway, so I'd be eating pizza and fries every day.

Which is outside.

Dishwasher to the rescue!

Sounds like a lot of work for eating outside

Pizza, when done right, is healthy. Part of the Mediterranean diet. Simply fresh bread with veggies and cheese.
