Heavens Summer - you did not upset me at all and I sincerely apologize if my post read that way. An organized village bonfire sounds ideal.

Disgusting.

I wish that firemen were allowed to retaliate. Turn a high-pressure hose on them, and if they're injured they'll have learnt a valuable lesson.

The trouble is that these days in back-to-front Britain, the courts tend to punish victims and reward criminals.

Re: Fireworks

Heard a sad story yesterday of the dog that was so scared of the fireworks, he crawled under the decking and died from a heart attack. Obviously, the dog should not have been out in the garden at that time.
