It usually goes in phases

- immediately when it gets dark

- after people have got home & had tea & do the back yard display

- the 'public' displays

this gets us to about 9 at night

after that, in recent years, it has been down to who has got the nearest to a minor earthquake - it will be interesting to see what happens, tonight, as overall, l think, firework activity has been noticeably reduced this year :erm:

Sodium Nitrate is a fertiliser isn't it? Add powered Aluminium/Magnesium/charcoal and you're away. Just don't blame me when you're injured ;)

At the moment got one missing cat, two dogs panting like they need life support and one tiny terrier climbing the back fence having the time of his life killing the bangs.

spose it sums it up, great for one person, hell for the rest!

After the expected noisy early evening it's now all quiet.It's been a much better season this year.

Much more enjoyable and hopefully after this weekend that will be the finish and tkiely's terrier will have subdued all the bangers. :D

Strontium Nitrate.
Nice and crimson, however, I do advise against using it in a rizzler as a fuse when you run out of blue touch paper, especially if the person who rolled it then forgets and thinks it's a fag (oh dear oh dear oh dear what a wazzok he was)
