They will have started selling them on 15th October and will continue to sell them until 23.59.59 tonight.

The reason supermarkets are to blame is that whilst you rightly say the fireworks shops can sell fireworks all year round, you have to go out of your way to find them and even in big cities you hardly ever hear a firework. However on 15th October, once the supermarkets put them on sale, it all begins again and everything you describe in your posting happens in cities all across the UK due to them being available in just about every supermarket, apart from the smallest ones.

If fireworks season did not exist and if fireworks were only allowed at properly licensed events, whether it be run by a council, sports club or an event like I described, then all the things you talk about, which happens every fireworks season, would not happen.
