Fed up of Fireworks!

Last week end and every night this week it has been like Armageddon round here. They are still at it now!! My patience is wearing very thin. Pets and wildlife have no chance against these thoughtless oiks.

Yep! They are a pain. Yet more here tonight also.
I did sign the petition, in fact several over the years, to ban them for sale to the general public, organised displays only, but nowt has come of it.

Cops, Keezoy? It is so long since I've seen one of those round here I doubt I would recognize one!!

It is people with more money than sense anyway - the last rocket that just went up would have cost around £30 (about 56 Australian dollars?). It is time fireworks were banned from public sale.

Time was they were only around on Guy Fawkes night - now it seems any night will do. It is so unfair to pets and wildlife.

My poor cats have been behind the sofa for most of the week!

Re: Fed up of Fireworks!

It hasn't been too bad here this year, only heard a few bangs.

I'm wondering if it's because our local Sainsbury's has stopped selling fireworks this year.

A bit of citizen action is in order do you think?

Re: Fed up of Fireworks!

Hi

Our big Fireworks display has been cancelled for the second time due to flooding.

They are going to try again next weekend.

Several of us have complained to the Council - but our current lot are so feeble I doubt they will take action.

I am not a killjoy but enough is enough!

What I would like to see happen is either:-

Fireworks only sold to the public on the actual day, November 5th.

or

Sale of fireworks to the public banned and only formal displays allowed.
