Sainsbury's to stop selling fireworks
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-50094658
Good, the only disappointment is other major chains had decided not to follow in their foot steps.
Hopefully they will in time....

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

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.

Re: Sainsbury's to stop selling fireworks
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

Re: Sainsbury's to stop selling fireworks
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.
