Julie also raises another point of the impact on ex service men in some cases.
I am no kill joy but would like to see these things licensed and if for a private party, then notifications of such to be placed in the local press for the following week.

Can we assume therefore that you like loud fireworks and have no problem with them being let off at all times of day and night?

Re: Fireworks
Just started here, I don't think there'll be many close by, hopefully. I'm keeping my pets in, we haven't been here long enough for them to find their way home if they panic and run off. Where we lived before they didn't seem bothered by the noise at all, but, you can never tell.Putting a coat or jumper on a dog helps I'm told.

At the moment here it is like listen to the blitz - rockets, bangers and lord know what else. Both my cats are safely indoors -but that hasn't stopped one of them shaking with fear at each loud bang - eventually being very sick - and the other one is hiding in the wardrobe.

Looks like Mrs Fox will be sleeping on the reclining chair tonight....

I have just been kicked off my chair. I made the mistake of getting up to make a cuppa. Still at least she is a bit more relaxed now.
