Good, the only disappointment is other major chains had decided not to follow in their foot steps.

Hopefully they will in time....

Aldi have quite a good range in stock at reasonable prices, i don't mind firework sales as i'm not a miserable old git, even if i am old i'm a happy old git.

Re: Sainsbury's to stop selling fireworks
 

Why? as fireworks have been a enjoyable part of Bonfire night when usually properly by responsible adults.

I'm not miserable, far from it :) Organised events are much better, and it stops the little scrotes from lobbing fireworks around the streets.

Miserable old git well you had the first part right there.;)

Arse kicking sorts out today's youth,not banning things.;)

oh come now, we all know that a 3 day community service order for the 137th time has been proven to prevent re-offending :rofl:

If only it was Bonfire Night, and not days and nights both before and after. Then someone's birthday, a BBQ party, a footie match, etc., etc.

It's possible to plan to avoid the (ever increasing) bangs on Bonfire Night, but not when they are happening willy-nilly all year round.

Our council banned garden bonfires to help asthmatics, but no chance of them banning fireworks for those with pets, autism or PTSD.

I agree.

To be honest, considering the price of the damn things I'm surprised anyone but the Government can afford the things . . and they only used about 100,000 of them for the last New Year bash in London :rolleyes:

They didn’t - that’s funded by the London tax-payers, as it’s organised by the Greater London Authority.

Come live round here and I put my bank balance on the fact you'll change your mind. I love fireworks but they get into the wrong hands very easily and then they cause havoc. Thrown at cars and windows, into windows causing a fire and even at a police van. This just doesnt happen 1 or 2 weeks before bonfire night, it happens in September and even August.

Do you know how much tourism and money that brings to London?
