'Fool
with Fireworks and bang goes your image' Thats the message going
out to young people from the government in a bid to crackdown on
the number of accidents caused by 'pocket money' fireworks like
Air Bombs, which can be bought for as little as 20p.
A
new campaign launched by the consumer minister will target the black
market in fireworks, encourage local councils to use their powers
to tackle the problem of noise and nuisance caused by fireworks
and also impose on-the-spot fines for irresponsible firework users.
>>>
But
what do you think about the new plans? Do they put a damper on firework
fun? Or do you think we need to have stricter rules on the selling
of fireworks?
THIS DISCUSSION IS NOW CLOSED
From
paul in worcester
i work for a large firework company & some of the comments i have
been reading make me sick.for those people who want them banned think
about this.we in the industry are under a lot of pressure to put things
right with the public.we volintary ban certain fireworks for you(not
the gov)we have to put up with a lot of red tape just to keep you
happy.what shall we ban next lawn mowers???.tell you what lets ban
cars shall we because they come past my house at 2am and wake me up.lets
ban booze and fags...more people die from them than anything else.we
do all we can now its up to the law to deal with yobs & the yobs parents.dont
blame the tools because they can only do what people want them to
do.one last thing last year 135 million fireworks was sold now u work
out how much revenue that is.because if they was to loose that then
u would have to pay to make it up.

Helen Taylor, wythenshawe, manchester
I think that all fireworks should be banned from the general public,
and that only those who apply for a licence eg:pubs, clubs, organisations
etc..can access them to provide organised displays.
From
Anthony, Accrington, Lancashire
I support laws to punish firework misusing children/their parents
and families and people who buy for under 18's and shops who will
willingly sell fireworks to kids-these should be implemented rather
than any sales ban.
From
Anthony, Accrington, Lancashire
Live and let live,why should fireworks be banned from responsible
and sensible people using them in a legal lawful way to entertain
family and friends? If I want to enjoy fireworks outside Nov5th sensibly
then I will and nobody should have the right to question and stop
me from doing so.
From
babs
the only way to stop this alful time of year [september to january]is
to hav organized displays only. theebraindead louts need stoping not
only for our peace of mind , but for there own safety, because it
will hapen again and again were ty will be killing themselve just
for a laugh, i have paid a 100 pounds out on vets bills as my dog
was so frightened she injured her leg trying to get away from th noise.
also to buy drugs to sedate my other pets,if any body comes up with
an idea how to keep your pets calm during this trying time they would
be very, very rich.ban them from public sale and have public organised
displays only.
From
anthony, Accrington, Lancashire
Why do you tar ALL firework users with the same brush? What about
the sensible responsible users with a conscience who; inform residents
and police before they have fireworks, take great care to angle rockets
away from property cars etc, use quieter low noise no bang fireworks
without screechers/whistles/reports/ crackles/crackers/bangs/hummers,
limit fireworks to reasonable times i.e.before 9pm out of season and
NO later than 11pm in summer, and buy/use fireworks appropiate to
the size of their premises i.e. smaller display fireworks if they
have no fallout area for spent remains? Are they thugs and hooligans?
NO! They (like myself) are normal people who enjoy fireworks safely,sensibly,responsibly
AND considerately.
From
Beryl in Preston, Lancashire
I have a disabled child who is petrified of fireworks. They now
seem to go off all year round (yesterday 17 January is not a special
occasion!). The bangs are becoming louder and more common so you cannot
hide the display from a child who does not understand. Why can't we
go back to the old way where fireworks were only used on 5 Nov (early
evening) and midnight on 31 Dec. That way they can still be enjoyed
on those occasions and the distress of the many children, disabledand
elderly persons and animals remians limited.
From
Susan in Manchester
fireworks should be banned unless in an organised public display.
I live in a small street and a neighbour gets hold of industrial size
fireworks which he then lets off in the street outside our houses.
Such idiotic mentality needs serious measures to protect people, property
and animals.
From
J Burton in Derby
Ban all Fireworks. Nov.5 included No Gunpowder for sale at all
From
Anthony in Accrington,Lancashire
Let's face reality and not a dreamworld that will never happen! As
I said before i'll reiterate again and again and again, the problem
is that if you ban fireworks from public sale,then it's inevitable
people will always get hold of them illegally and set them off and
you will NOT be able stop it(illegal non BS firework shipments/rogue
traders and distributors/the internet and bringing them in from Europe
through the back doors). So live and let live; let's have severe punishments
for firework misusers such as wayward children/teenagers and their
families/parents who don't give a damn and have a conscience, and
punish severely the shops who sell fireworks to under 18's and the
people who buy for under 18's, have restricted sales periods to twice
a year retailers coupled with an ID scheme for purchasers and retailers,
training for those buying fireworks for semipublic and public events,
sales bans on fireworks which merely bang without other effects,and
that in my view will solve a lot of the problems. Legislations and
laws will solve the problem-NOT sales bans!
From
Dave Wright in Chesterfield
Should ahve been banned years ago but never will be because of the
vested interests of big business. Once again profit is put before
public safety, and once again a government collaborates with it. BAN
THEM NOW!
From
Andrew king, Manchester
To many people have been injerd with fireworks if we do let of fireworks
leave it to the pros.
From
Anthony, Accrington Lancashire
If you ban fireworks from public sale,several things will happen:
(a)people will buy over the internet,
(b)people will buy bring in and use fireworks from europe which are
more powerful and possibly lethal to use,
(c)and there will be another danger in that people could make their
own from household substances and chemicals hurting injuring or killing
themselves and others and demolishing the house,
(d) Lethal more dangerous fireworks could enter the country illegally
as well,
(e)It will merely be driven underground and a healthy illegal black
market will develop for them and fill the gap a sales ban would create.
I would rather have; controlled sales periods for bonfire night and
new year, an id scheme for purchasers, all year retailers being compelled
to see that before the fireworks can be sold to customers, Sales bans
on anything which merely bangs without effect i.e.flash report display
mines/garden and display rockets/display cakes,batteries and barrages,
retailers trained in fireworks so they sell the correct product to
the purchaser ie garden fireworks for domestic premises/display fireworks
for semipublic events.
From
Anthony, Accrington
The law needs to crack down harder on the children misusing fireworks
and the couldn't care won't care parents who won't take stock of them
and punish them for firework misuse. Shops who sell to under 18's
deliberately or to people buying for under 18's should have their
licences revoked for a first offence and refused future licensing
and registration of shop premises to sell fireworks ever again. People
who buy for under 18's should also be punished by the law with fines
and imprisonments and ASBO's should be doled out to kids who create
nuisance and damage property with fireworks and their parents should
be made to pay compensation to people whose kids have injured/burned/blinded/maimed/
killed them with the misuse of fireworks and to people whose pets
have been injured burned or killed by fireworks like poor Megan.
From
Vicky, Stockport
Fireworks are a menace to society. I'm sick to death of fireworks
being set off at all hours of the day & night. Not only that, but
the buggers who get hold of them not only set them off, but throw
them at passing cars, cyclists & pedestrians. The police can't respond
to life & death calls quickly enough because of staff shortages etc
without having to also deal with idiots who are terrorising neighbourhoods
with their irresponsibility. Don't get me wrong, I love a good fireworks
show -but keep them at organised events only & keep the public safe
(and let us have a decent night's sleep aswell!!)
From
audrey in Lancashire
it is now 14th of december and already fireworks are going off. mind
you i should be thankful we have had 5 days grace since september
16, come on govermant do we realy want them on sale so soon, they
are on sale to louts whoare mindless, oh its so funny making loud
noises, frightening our pets. well its about time somebody listend
to the public.yes i can understand some peope enjoying them, but not
everybody, so have private displays then both partys are happy.pets
can sleep easy.i say peace andquiet, itsnot too much to ask.
From
Janet, Tameside, UK
Well 5th November might have long gone but 31st December is coming
up once again! All you worried pet owners, get yourself (and your
pets!) some Bach Rescue Remedy and administer it for a day or two
prior to the 31st. It worked for my doggie in November and I'm sure
it will help your animals stay calmer too!
From
Anthony, Accrington, Lancashire
If you cannot fine kids under 18 with Β£40 fines for firework misuse
then extend it to the parents and if they do it a second time and
are caught by police then back it up with a more severe imprisonment
of the parents and send the kids to care for a second offence;if imprisonment
worked with school truancy and changed attitudes there's a good chance
it'll work too with firework misuse!
From
Anthony in Accrington, Lancashire
If fireworks were made quieter,NO whistles/NO bangs/NO crackles/NO
screeches/NO hummers,I think that would be an acceptable compromise
as they wouldn't have that shock value that so many idiotic children
and teenagers crave so much. Prettier yes,frightening NO!
From
Karen, Manchester
I love fireworks, our local scouts put on an amzing display that must
have lasted over 30 minutes in total for Β£2 a head, great value. But
the ones you can buy in the shops are poor quality, un-impressive
and dangerous in the wrong hands, I really don't see the pint of letting
of this sort of firework in your back garden. BAn fireworks form general
sale, too many of them get into the wrong hands, and even reponsible
people can get hurt. Instead only allow regualted sale of proffessional
standard fireworks to trained people, or those with a licence. It
would stop nuiscance noise from sept-dec, and it would make it safer
for everyone. None of my animals have ever been afraid of fireworks,
but i'm very much afraid of the sort of yobs (as young as 8 as old
as 48) that play with them.
From
Andy in Manchester
I also wonder how many of the pro lobby have used more than one name
to justify their cause. The comment about supermarkets profiteering
, selling half price fireworks is spot on, boycott them and tell them
why, their mentality is worse than the idiots that let them off all
hours of the day,....and night.
From
Gerry in Dorset
Lets have a competition, go through the whole lot of posts on here
and see who can come up with the greatest number of copied and pasted
posts which some people have reverted to, to try and sway the reasoning
in favour of the anti firework brigade. Its all a farce !!
From
Jean Grundy in Manchester
Ban them at once. They scare old folk like me. Dogs as well All animals.
Thay area on sale far too long.
From
Debbie South Wales
I do not believe that an outright ban on fireworks is necessary. Tighter
controls on retailers would assist with the problem of misuse. Parents
should also take responsibility for the actions of the teenagers responsible
for the majority of misuse. There are many responsible people purchasing
and enjoying fireworks and it would be a great shame to allow the
minority rogue element spoil it for the rest of us.
From
- Gerry in Dorset
As already stated many times, it is not the firework that causes most
problems, it is the person who has it. Fireworks are not only used
to symbolise Guy Fawkes plot to blow up the Houses of Parliament on
November 5th ( he was actually arrested on the 4th ) They have been
around for many hundreds of years, as celebration items, lifesaving
devices and as weapons of war. Fireworks should NOT be banned for
the knee jerk reactions caused by the mindless irresposible few. ID
should be required as the minimum prior to a sale, and ideally a form
of basic training/certification process to give you the authority
to buy fireworks. this would all be logged at point of sale, If you
have proved you are old enough and have proved your required understanding
of the safe responsible use and storage of fireworks, then you should
still be allowed to use them. If you were one of these who had proved
their age and training as outlined above you would already know to
publicise your intentions at an early stage, informing neighbours
and anyone else who may be affected by your display, and you would
also heed the warnings and advice printed on every firework with regards
to its properties and minimum safe spectator distances. Perhaps we
should ban cats and dogs and horses just because some irresponsible
owners let them mess the streets or stray into someone elses ground.
ban cars too, as they can be annoying and dangerous in the wrong hands.
If we really wanted to we could think of a reason to ban anything
we liked. I say ban these types of polls !
From
Mary Cheney in Tunbridge Wells, Kent
A total ban on the sale of fireworks to the general public is the
only way we can get some peace and quiet. The British are stark raving
mad as they don't confine the letting off of fireworks to one night
only, it relentlessly goes on until after New Year. Why are these
canons and excessively loud explosives on sale anyway? What is the
Government doing about it? Its like living in a war zone. I believe
they are banned in Northern Ireland and Australia, where there are
only public displays. I have been driven mad by the noise for over
6 weeks, and am amazed at the selfishness and irresponsible behaviour
of the mainly moronic sections of the Great British Public. Injuries
to children and animals, as well as personal and public property just
has to stopped. I feel sorry not only for myself, but for my cats
who are terrified, birds in outside aviaries, horses and every other
creature who lives outside during this crazy time. I have come to
loathe the month of November as it is the worst time of the year.
Public displays with the excessively loud noise reduced is the only
option. It has now become a breach of the peace every single night
that it continues.
From
Audrey in Lancashire
i say ban them from the public, organised displays only. we have
had fireworks going off morning, noon and night since sept 16, an
are still goin off nov i2th. my pets hav been very fightened so much
so my dog has been throwing up. and i myself and others i have spoke
too hav been frightened off the loudness of them this year
From
Anthony in Accrington,Lancashire
Problem is;if you ban the sale of fireworks people will always get
hold of them through the internet/via mail order/from Europe and through
illegal sources/traders/wholesalers and distributors and from the
illegal and dangerous non-BS container shipments of illegal fireworks
coming into this country unnoticed every year. A healthy black market
will also develop the fill the gap that a sales ban would create.
I would rather have restricted by law sales periods/all year retailers
and mail order firework companies being made to insist on id before
customers can buy fireworks/punishments for children misusing fireworks
and their parents and families/punishments for those who buy for under
18's/anything that merely bangs without effect removed from sale/quieter
low noise fireworks introduced/and noise levels of existing consumer
garden and display fireworks reduced. These are more positive steps
that would show far more approval better than a sales ban.
From
Brian Bowers in Ashfield/Notts
I suggest that something must urgently be done to control the use
of fireworks. It has been a problem in my area for the last six weeks
now, and is still ongoing and this is the week AFTER Guy Fawkes night!
I am also certain that it won`t stop here, because fireworks are now
commonly used leading up to, on, and after New Years Eve. I have been
unable to allow my dog her normal excercise throughout this extended
madness as she is very nervous of loud noises, goodness only knows
how cat owners are coping? The government must act to control this
behaviour because it is affecting people`s quality of life. A good
example of how this sort of behavior is encouraged is when my local
supermarket put all fireworks on sale at half price on NOVEMBER 6TH
!! This sort of blatant profiteering at the expense of the community
must be stopped if any kind of sanity is to return concerning bonfire
night. Don`t get me wrong, I still enjoy a good fireworks party, but
the whole thing is getting seriously out of control and needs to be
taken out of the public domain, where only licensed displays are allowed
and then only on Nov 5th so people of nervous disposition and those
with animals can plan for the night.
From
Sam in Bristol
All public sales of fireworks should be banned - RIGHT NOW - not in
a number of year's time when we've all gone deaf from the excessive
loud bangs which unfortunately, at this time of year, are so common.
Decent (ie unloud) public displays on the ONE night of 5th November
may be allowed but only if they are properly and safely organised.
It is an outrage that the powers-that-be refuse to clamp down on this
preposterous "festival".
From
Anthony in Accrington, Lancashire
A fireworks company IS actually trying to do something positive
about it,but it remains to be seen if others follow suit; no whistling/screeching/humming/
crackling OR bangs,rockets producing a quieter phut and stars rather
than a bang or flash report/roman cake,candle and barrage starbursts
producing a small crack rather than a loud bang then the effect,fountains
that merely hiss or quietly splutter without crackles or whistles.
From
Yvonne in Doncaster
I feel that a ban on firework sales to the general public is long
overdue. The government does not seem to be taking it seriousley enough.
I am inreceipt of an email from New Labour stating that shops are
being asked not to sell fireworks untill 3 weeks prior to bonfire
night. This is a toatal waste of time as shopkeepers in the Doncaste
area have been selling them for weeks longer than this and have even
been offering half priced fireworks for sale. As an animal lover and
dog owner it makes me very angry when I have to watch my 2 dogs shaking
with fear. I might add that we have inconsiderate adults letting bangers
off at three and four o'clock on weekends (a.m.) but then they obviousley
feel that we are not entitled to a good nights sleep. We should also
consider the elderly and infirmas well as the animal kingdom.
From
Christine Burnett
Fireworks should only be permitted by licenced organisers and on a
limited number of occasions. Displays should only be allowed on November
the 5th or the nearest Saturday when it falls on a week day and only
before 10.00 pm except that I suppose they should be permitted on
New Year's Eve when shown at organised displays. Those who live in
towns are subjected to night after night of disturbance causing distress
to children, the elderly and animals. Unfortunately society needs
some authority to restrict usage of fireworks to reduce the upset
caused to a reasonable limit.
From
Ian in Warrington
Its very simple really. The use of fireworks demands common sense.
Unfortunately the general public does not have common sense. The the
sale of fire works should therefore be banned so as to ease the suffering
of people that have to put up with the dangerously loud explosions
that penetrate even the most sound proof of homes. Every year, and
this year is the worst yet, from mid September to late January fireworks
are ignited from just after 3.00pm (Kids out of school), all evening
and on occasion up until 3.30am. It affects people’s mental health
through sleep deprivation, and puts peoples nerves on edge. The fact
remains that Fireworks are explosive devices and as such must be subject
to a licence. (For public display use only and then only on 2 days
November the 5th and New Years Day) Please supply me with a national
Petition to sign, banning the sale of Fireworks.
From
Andy, Manchester
Apperntly a lot of the 'loud' fireworks are being banned for next
year, and outlets are being asked to co-operate by not selling them
too early ( they should be told ..not asked). The problem with enforcing
the laws when it comes to fireworks is its very time consuming and
a lot of manpower would have to go into it, and for what... they go
to court and told not to do it again. The police would never respond
to a call about youths causing problems with firworks....they would
need an army of officers to make the slightest impact, the government
need to legislate..... we should all write to our MP's, firworks on
Bonfire Night only.
From
Roy Allen in Caernarfon
I would have thought that fireworks or at least these horific bangers
are already illegal .We have regulations covering explosives, we have
regulations which protect the public from undue noise over a certain
number of decibels . so I cannot understand how local authorities
do not use existing powers they have with these existing regulations
to ban these hideous fireworks. The distress caused to the elderly
,and to farm and domestic animals , must be stopped . If anyone has
any plans to get this outrageous nuisance banned I WOULD BE INTERESTED.
IT MUST BE MADE A NATIONAL ISSUE BEFORE THE HORRORS OF NOVEMBER 5
COMES ROUND AGAIN.
From
Andrew in Manchester
The irresponsible few should not be a reason to prevent the considerate
majority from enjoying setting off their own fireworks. I do think
though that their sale should be restricted to the week before November
5th only, simply because not everyone appreciates so many explosions
night after night! Selling to those underage needs to be cracked down
on and those caught misusing them need dealing with properly - not
just a verbal warning that would go in one ear and out the other.
From
Bill Ellison in Macclesfield
I totally agree with most of what has been said here. It is a dangerous
and outdated tradition. Last Friday night some idiot(s) posted a banger
in the local post box and blew the door off damaging the mail inside.
The idiots may be in the minority; the trouble is they are getting
away with it just as they are with depositing their litter on the
public highway, cycling on the footpath and endangering pedestrians,
and driving their cars at 60mph+ in 30mph limit areas. All this law-breaking
has become the norm because the powers that be do very little to stop
it.
From
Brian in Salford
After having a firework thrown at me earlier today, I believe that
anonymous over-the-counter sale of fireworks to the general public
must end. Those who want to buy fireworks must provide their name
and address along with a verifiable form of identity. Those details
must be recorded and the police must have full access to the records
of those sold fireworks. The days of practically anybody being able
to sell fireworks must also end. Corner shops and the likes must not
be allowed to sell them. Certain traders have clearly shown that they
cannot be trusted to sell things that can kill. Fireworks should still
be on sale, but in my view they should only be sold by local authorities
or places that meet extremely strict security and safety requirements.
That way the sale of fireworks is controlled, and those who want to
run small community or family displays can still do so. Perhaps that
way we can have the best of both worlds. An end to the 40% rise in
anti-social behaviour, with those who want to run small displays still
able to do so.
From
Jeff Davis in Telford
I love well reasoned comment ! To people who have posted comments
here this is a real issue that is causing them serious concerns. We
are not talking about a few fireworks on the one night marking the
original celebration, this would be perfectly understandable and allowances
can be made for it. Notwithstanding the fact that it would take an
unprecedented scale of policing to prevent fireworks from getting
into the hands of the socially irresponsible cretins who are taking
to use them as weapons, the problem is exaccerbated by the modern
trend of ignoring the original intent and traditions behind (in this
case) Bonfire Night and 'celebrating' whenever people feel like it,
regardless of the inconvenience and distress it causes others. In
fact, all too typical behaviour from our increasingly thoughtless
and selfish society. As I said, one or two nights, understandable
and in keeping with the tradition, a whole darned season of it...sorry,
this is not a simplistic question of namby-pampy or do gooding etc.
From
Vicky in Manchester
i totally agree with John from Dukinfield, ban fireworks from the
general puplic and let the professional displays take place in a safe
environment. I am also really sick to the back teeth of fireworks
going of as early as the beg of Oct.
From
Helen Weedon in Manchester
Fireworks? These days they aren't fireworks they are rather large
bombs which is why they do such severe damage in the wrong hands.
There should be public displays only, and a time/date limit. Every
year I spend at least 5 hours per night for 5 nights watching my panicking
horse in case she has an epileptic seizure. That's dangerous for both
her and me. Plus its stressful, exhausting and disruptive. If it was
for a couple of hours on one night I could live with it, but now its
Bonfire Week "celebrated" by people who aren't even taught who Guy
Fawks was or his significance in British history - doesn't that sound
just like Christmas too????? My friends with small children say their
kids are terrified by the noise and there is no-where they can go
to escape from it. Similarly the cats and dogs who run away from home
and are never seen again. The kids from the school behind where I
work let them off within minutes of 3pm and there aren't any shops
nearby so they must be carrying them in their bags all day. That's
really safe isn't it ? (oh yes and the oldest kids are only 16 so
how are they obtaining them please). The sooner these things are banned
from public sale the better - sorry.
From
Rebekah in Rossendale
Selling fireworks to over 18's is all very well - until you get the
Moron Family living next door but one to you, where the father actually
goes round banging on our doors trying to con cash out of us to fund
a fireworks frenzy for his Moron kids. If he buys them and gives them
to his kids, (who for the past six weeks have been outside the front
and back of my house blowing up dustbins), then what good does an
over 18 law do? They aren't pretty and colourful, they are loud, obnoxious,
and very anti-social. Only morons can get anything out of setting
off up to 50 of these things in succession, like they did outside
my house last night, with the blessing of Daddy Moron. Not even the
relentlessly heavy rain stopped them from getting out there and destroying
everyone's peace. They aren't a visual spectacle, they are a menace.
Fireworks, should they be on sale at all, should be restricted to
a small window of opportunity, and airbombs and other racket producing
examples should be declared illegal and fines imposed on the morons
who think it's funny to set hundreds of these things off outside people's
houses. I'd like to be able to go out and stop them, only I don't
want to find one pushed through my letterbox when my back is turned.
John
Neary in Dukinfield
Time to ban the sale of fireworks to the general public altogether.
Fireworks have become too sophisticated and dangerous to be in the
hands of an increasingly irresponsible public. Professional displays,
yes, public sales, no.
From
anthony in Accrington, Lancashire
Just because the namby-pambys and do-gooders and safety campaigners
don't like or enjoy fireworks doesn't mean to say the sensible people
who are using them safely sensibly and properly to entertain family
and friends should be banned from having them. The doogooders/safety
campaigners and organisations tar everybody with the same brush-it's
the kids and teenagers that illegally obtain fireworks and the retailers
who illegally sell to them and persons who willingly buy for under18's
that need to be severely punished! Fireworks are NOT the problem,
it's the teenagers,children and shops and silly people who buy for
them that are the problem!
From
S. Beedles in Chester
Bonfire night is now defunct, it actually lasts from September 20th
to whenever the last birthday might be. Who but the people of this
country would celebrate a failed plot.
From
Andrew Turvey in Hulme
At first I was in favour of a ban, but I've now changed my mind. I
see the main issue as being people who use fireworks to put other
people at risk - either deliberately or recklessly. This is a crime
and should be dealt with like that. If you use a firework as a weapon
you deserve to be arrested, charged and jailed. Banning fireworks
just avoids the real issue which is criminal threatening behaviour.
From
Jeff in Telford
One word crops time and again..irresponsible. Irresponsible shops
and chains with point of sale personnel who can't be bothered to check
the age of purchasers (same goes for alcohol, cigarettes, solvents
etc) Irresponsible yobs who, with a few fireworks can intentionally
make life a misery for whole communities. So sorry if you are one
of the responsible ones who uses fireworks safely and on Nov 5th,
I say ban them except for organised displays. Perhaps one day, collectively
as a society, we can once again be trusted to use these things properly
and sensibly.
From
Simon, Sussex
I hate fireworks, I think they're a waste of money and totally pointless..why
not give the money to charity? Fireworks should be banned from public
sale, that way if people desperatly want to go and see them they can
go to their local fireworks display. I'm sick of hearing fireworks
from halfway through october right through to the new year...arn't
people missing the point slightly? The idea is to celecrate guy fawkes
night is it not? Lets ban the bloody things now so I can get some
peace at night and wont also have to worry about my cats who right
now are quivering with fear as the gimps outside begin what sounds
like WW3.
