Not a trace of the thing was found, and my ears rang for days! :devsmoke:
I'd agree with the distance bit. Also to bury them deep so they don't fall over.

It was a quick way to clear the garden last year. :spin: :eek:

I'm not a killjoy, and do believe that sensibly done, fireworks can be great fun. My own party last year must have seen over £700 worth go up in smoke. I live 1/4 mile from my local Tescos, and people there tell me they had a good time watching mine (well I did advertise it to my friends as a "there goes the neighbourhood" do! :mad:

fireworks at home are great , we have them at bonfire night , birthdays , new year etc etc.......but its the shopkeepers selling the stuff to kids that need putting away not the kids for using them , same as the ones that sell kids beer and fags all geedy and thinking of profit before law.

I want to vote yes and no.

Yes because I'm sick of the local kids where I live who've been setting them off constantly since last November:mad:

No because I think that they're great.

It's just as well my Mum lives out in the country. Her dog (a Labrador - a gun dog) is afraid of loud bangs:confused: Mind you she's afraid of her own shadow, doors slamming in the wind, and being stroked if she doesn't see you.:spin:

ok then , i was at york yesterday at the caravan show on the racecourse , i got talking to a couple of firemen who were doing a chip pan demo ( how to put it out ) , and we got talking about fireworks , they reckon they are the most evil annoying things going at this time of year , they told me about one that went off at 3-00 am a couple of days ago that had appliances out running around in circles looking for the EXPLOSION that caused it , so fireworks are still harmless are they , sorry but i dont think so , how about your loved one burning to death in a house fire because some idiot let one off and the fire brigade couldnt reach there house in time , and please dont start on about the what if argument ;)

Atomic22 22-09-2003 20:34

its all down to stopping shopkeepers selling to kids

fair point , but how about kids hanging around shops getting adults to buy them for them ??????????????
back to selling to adults again , which equals not selling them to the public full stop ;)

Or just soemone that has a different opinion to you, a discussion is pointless if everyone agrees with each other, so be big and provide a decent argument for you view and don't resort to name calling:)
