Its surprising how the use of fireworks is' spreading' out over the year. Birthdays, any celebration you can think of. New Year also. If it was one or two nights only would be bearable. Then of course, living in Southampton, we have the huge liners going out and they must have fireworks!!!!! loud and huge. |

Firework sales could be stopped by a total ban but there are jobs involved, a healthy lump of VAT on them and no end of groups that would be "disadvantaged" because it is part of their culture! ;-) |

Sales of fireworks at the counter in Tesco etc at the counter are a tiny part of total sales ; UK firework companies mostly do not supply the retail trade anyway ; restricting sale to and use by registered experts would not stop anybody having fireworks at any time of the year ; having to get a licence for the display would stop a great deal of nuisance ... |

Well we heard hardly any fireworks here last night. I think maybe everyone is waiting until the council bonfire/firework and fair night on Friday. We won't be here but that is always popular. |

6 fireworks, equivalent to depth charges have just been set off - I'm sure the parents of young children and babies are extremely grateful :-| |
