Re: Fireworks !
I was wondering when the 'Ban the fireworks' cry would go up. They're on sale here for Halloween, but they have been less and less evident over the last few years. They don't trouble us.Jem, I thought that fireworks were only available for organised displays in the North. Or is possible to get anything if you know where to go?

Re: Fireworks !
My local supermarket has been selling them for a fortnight, not so popular as in the past so expensive and moneys tight.Even the organized displays seem diminished, although at New Years Eve a very large display takes place in my city. Very few going off before Bonfire night round my way, i think i may attend an organized event this year been a long time since i have

Couldn't agree more ST. Better still, for organised displays only, not for every tom,dick & harry to buy who haven't got a clue about safety.
They have a huge display every year in the park behind me, people come for miles to watch it and the bangs damn near rattle the windows. Not only that, my garden is full of spent fireworks next day and my car is covered in thick grey dust!
And don't start me on how it terrifies my dogs. . .

Re: Fireworks !
Thankfully they haven't started here yet. My dog, Amber, doesn't seem to be too bothered by them but lots of animals are, wild ones as well as the pets. I am surprised that people can still afford to send money up in smoke like that but then they are probably the same people who still smoke tobacco.

Re: Fireworks !
I only bought bangers when i was a nipper 1p each, cannons cost a threepenny bit, and of course lets not forget jumpy jacks. Our local council always held themed bonfire nights. One year we got to see effigies of the Beatles floated to the top of the Bonfire by a large Helium Balloon, Elf n safety would ave a fit these days.
