observer Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Well it's that time of year again, didn't one of our MPs promise curbs on fireworks - so can we expect a quiet one this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harry hayes Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 I know I will be out-voted but I love fireworks; Guido Fawkes; the noise; smell; the food. I recall the fun and devilment we had with rip-raps; shooters; and the like; and hope we don,t legislate too harshly on yet another pleasure for the young. There are not that many left. Yes, people set them off early - a minor annoyance in my opinion. Have fun. Happy days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeithR Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Nothing wrong with organised Public displays, they start at a reasonable time and more importantly finish at a reasonable time. The general sale of fireworks should be banned if only to prevent the richard heads (who seem to think it's funny letting them off at 2 and 3 o'clock in the morning) from getting hold of them. Fireworks are a pleasure seen in most countries all over the world, but it only seems to be this country that they are used in an anti social way.

observer Posted October 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Agree KR, no probs with the visual aspect of fireworks; just don't see the need for ear-drum shattering loud bangs - if the Richard Heads want that, perhaps they should visit Helmund?!

Dizzy Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 I love fireworks... but my dog didn't last week when she went out for a pee pee and all of a sudden all hell let loose Would be much easier if it was restricted to certain weekends in the year so 'we' are all expecting the explosions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonfire night is one night of the year. I can't say I've often seen (ever in fact) anyone having a bonfire to celebrate their birthday or a holiday.
