McRamFan Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Good news, more should follow suit. Personally, ban the public from buying at all, should be restricted to professionals only, and no where near a house. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-50094658 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sith Happens Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 I agree to some degree, but its possible to buy fireworks suitable for the average backyard. Sadly most people go and buy them that would be more suited to NYE in London. Just restrict it to those that are suitable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjam Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 I've become less tolerant to fireworks as I've got older, especially in residential areas - my dog hates them and I highly doubt my chickens enjoy them either! It wouldn't be so bad if it was just Nov 5th and Dec 31st but kids set them off over houses and down streets weeks before and weeks after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone wants to set a few mini Catherine wheels or that sort of thing on the backgarden to entertain the kids that's ok. But its the knobs who set off big ones in residential aread that selfishly ruin it for other's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkFruitsRam7 Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Regardless of the moral issues associated with fireworks, I just find them really boring and utterly pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srg Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 I just struggle to see the point. Maybe i'm a killjoy, but £80 for 5 seconds of colourful loud bangs doesn't seem too much fun when you could pay £5 and go watch a display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimRam Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Go to a proper display. Should be no need for back garden fireworks. Specially the idiots that let them off at midnight either days before or after bonfire night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richinspain Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 You'd all love Fallas over here. Near a month of kids throwing small, and not so small, bangers at each other with no regard for those passing by. And then there are the "masclets, some of which can have a body of more than 6" and a diameter of about 3" (no comments please), which sound like a bomb going off!

mozza Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Ban all fireworks being sold to the general public, all pet/dog lovers will agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chester40 Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Expensive, very dangerous, anti social, bad example to set and generally pretty rubbish.... I think (rather like the smoking ban in pubs) there would be a bit of moaning if the sale of fireworks to the public were banned, but quickly we would accept it was mental it was allowed in the first place.

Yes, there are certainly better ways to spend £80 for a few seconds enjoyment. Oh... wait... I didn't mean... Damn... too late! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyinLiverpool Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 My cat hates them. Sadly, there isn't a Sainsbury's round this way, so it's unlikely to make any difference to the amount of noise from fireworks in the next couple of weeks.

Ewe Ram Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 I would really love it if they sold only silent fireworks. They do in some countries. You really have to wonder at the mental capacity of people who get excited over a loud bang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
