When I have a barbecue all my guests sit around with plastic bags under their chairs
It's so people don't steal the beer they've brought. There's always some wanker that turns up without having brought any and expects to be able to scavenge off everybody else. It's so annoying when it happens because everybody else has to leave one hand on their placky bag to make sure no gypo gets in there.

Tell me your stories about the awful people that don't know how to behave at parties.

Just charge people 5 quid to get in. Problem solved.

Do they bring their own chairs?

1) If you're sitting, bring chairs (I also accept direct debit, haha). It costs a lot for me to put this on. £5 per person, please.

3) Please don't bring along any chairs unless I've asked you to. I threw an Ottoman at the last guy to do this.

If you break any of the chairs, you're out. If you sit anywhere other than a on a chair, you're going to get your face rubbed in it, then thrown out. Now that I've got those out of the way, who is looking forward to a good day?

Encourage your guests to provide their own food, booze, seating and venue,
by not inviting anyone to your barbecues. Pay yourself £5 for each burger you consume.

I do hope all these BBQ rules are being posted to Top Tips.
