Had 10 years of hell over November and December with my dog being terrified and once the season started he would go into panic every night whether there were bangs or not. Horrid time. He is pretty much deaf now and hardly notices shame he had to get old to be able to stay settled

Agreed.
I think the only reason that the month-long fireworks season exists is so that major supermarkets can make serious profit from their sale.
In the world of health and safety it is genuinely beyond comprehension when anyone can buy something which causes life changing injuries.

That was the very same for where I used to live as a child. The town's sports club organised an event which saw many people from the town. This took place on the Saturday nearest to 5th November. And on the 5th, the actual village had a private, but still organised, event which was attended by those who were part of village life and held on private property. Many brought a box of fireworks and they were let off by adults standing behind a rope to ensure nothing could go wrong. That was it. Now it's a month-long season for what is supposed to be a one-night thing and the only beneficiaries are the big supermarkets who make serious profit out of selling them.
