In this age of sensitivity to global warming we've come⟳ to be wary of them […], but somehow those strange little chimineas seem to have⟳ warmed the hearts of the nation. I've always found them a bit odd looking – like⟳ something from The Hobbit – and you do need⟳ to position them where they can do their job without endangering life, limb and property.”
