Well, I like fireworks (the pretty ones, not the very noisy ones) but I also have a dog who is terrified of them but she is also scared of lots of other things - car doors being slammed, gun shots, any flying insect. Most of these can't be banned and, as somebody said, we are supposed to live in a free country. |

I'm saying fireworks shouldn't be allowed every bl**dy night of the year from October to January Errol. |

'Official' Fireworks in the UK are normally for November 5th, Diwali the Chinese New Year, and New years Eve. |

This big city did not have an "official fireworks display", never does on Hallowe'en. |

Margee, your lucky your city puts on a display for July 1, ours didn't this year and won't next year cause they want to build another hockey rink. Now yes maybe we need another rink but I don't think we need two offical NHL size rinks in town |

Yes, love the idea that we can set off dangerous, polluting explosives whenever we want, but can't burn garden rubbish with the same freedom :-P |

Those laws state the TIMES fireworks can be set off - so, presumably, if someone has a stockpile, they can set them off EVERY night up to 11pm (excluding 'special' occasions) |

Absolutely - it is quite ludicrous to ban something (particularly something enjoyed by many or to mark an historic occasion) just because of a minority of idiots. |

The law is quite clear as Errol says. |

UK law regarding fireworks is quite explicit. |

I will sign but that won´t help me over here when they let them off all year round for any little reason :-( |

In my city the sale of fireworks is banned completely, every day of the year. The only fireworks that we see or hear is the display put on by the city on July 1st. |

Fireworks aren't (traditionally) meant to be let off in UK until November 5th :-| |
