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.

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
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  Mind you she's afraid of her own shadow, doors slamming in the wind, and being stroked if she doesn't see you.

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

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
