Re: Sainsbury's to stop selling fireworks
It starts weeks before in our area and l suspect many other areas have exactly the same scenario.

Re: Sainsbury's to stop selling fireworks
Where I moved to, last year, they had a large Bonfire and Firework event on a large sports field, behind a hill in view of my front bedroom window, it was a ringside seat to a glorious filled firework session, didn't have to leave the house and never paid a penny to watch.

Yeah I prefer watching from indoors, the bangs are quieter.

Re: Sainsbury's to stop selling fireworks
The real trick is just to record the fireworks one year then watch the replay every year after that.

Good idea - you can turn the volume down, and fast forward through the boring bits.

Re: Sainsbury's to stop selling fireworks
Not had any fireworks being let off by yobbos yet. Maybe because the local Sainsbury's are not selling them and there's no other easy supply.

Re: Sainsbury's to stop selling fireworks
Typical nanny state.
The minority bitch and moan and get their way.
Which is typical of things in the UK.

Come live here, you'd soon change your mind. There is plenty of events, a lot free around the week of the 5th around the country. There is no need to sell explosives to the public and that's coming from someone who loves fireworks. Ask the emergency services what they think should happen to fireworks. I've personally seen one been shot at a police van, I nearly called 999 then realised who do you actually call when the police are on the receiving end of it. One got put into someone's open window which caused a fire too.
If not a full ban then make it so hard to buy some that it becomes a chore to buy them and hopefully that takes away most of the trouble makers. It's got nothing to do with a nanny state and just what makes sense and in fact they aren't even banned, a private company have stopped selling them, so not sure how you come to the conclusion of a nanny state.
