Day Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Just thought I would get in here early for my annual request that all fireworks are banned. Soon as the clocks go back, the anti social folk will be out in their gardens setting these things off as they complain the following morning about the cost of living. Maybe don’t waste your money on being anti social this year, just an idea. RadioactiveWaste, Anag Ram, Carnero and 7 others 3 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srg Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Wouldn't outright ban, but I would ban public sales. Should be organised displays and things like that, and nothing else. Carnero, TimRam, Day and 8 others 9 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 I go to the Conkers display and quite like it. I'm not sure how it would compare setting off 1 every 15 minutes for 10x the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxjam Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Yearly rant about the effect they have on my dogs, chickens, quails... I'm not against organised displays, but letting them off in residential areas shouldn't be allowed to happen. Can't they invent quiet fireworks or are the pretty colours not the point ?

Anon Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 I don't like them. They're expensive and I don't really understand the enjoyment people derive from loud bangs/pretty colours. You could look through a kaleidoscope whilst someone repeatedly bangs a drum and get the same effect. I don't see how anyone can seriously justify a ban though. The arguments that they're dangerous and anti-social can be applied to many things. Shall we ban motorbikes too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loads of people have dogs - and the numbers shot up dramatically during lockdown, whilst I find fireworks mildly irritating one of my dogs gets quite upset and god knows whats going on outside in the chicken coop!

I'm not sure but they should ban cars that sound like a Lamborghini but look like a Nissan Micra. It's a tragedy that young lads drive with all this bluster but are driving the same cars popular with the OAP's. So ban them.

The type of people who will be spaffing several hundred quid's worth of gunpowder impotently into the sky will be the first complaining about how they can't afford to heat their homes or feed their kids.

Ram-Alf Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 I had family members who worked at Hayley and Weller in Draycott Derbyshire, Fireworks were always free ? One night we had a bonfire party and they brought some firework bombs that you bury in the ground, Well we buried them in the ground there were 3, Lit the fuse and stood back, The 1st one went off as should and flew into the sky...then there was a nuclear explosion of a sound I'd never heard, Loud enough to burst our eardrums, We ran inside as we knew there were 2 more on there way, WOW! ? the amount of buildings that shook ? The family member said they were army issue as they had a contract from the M O D ? Crewton, Boycie and I know nothing 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
