A really good firework display on the rec at the end of our road. It was well organised and went on for a good long while - one of the best I've seen for a while. I had a free seat (kneeling on the bed in a spare bedroom) and I didn't get cold. What could be better? :-D

It was only £1.50 for paying customers so a family of, say, four got a really good show for £6.

Mind you, the fireworks were having a hard job competing with my neighbour's Christmas lights. I expect he'll put the sprouts on to cook soon :-D

We have an organised one each year in our village, with all proceeds shared out locally. £1 to get into the field. I put my coat on & watch from our garden.

The Sussex Bonfire Boyes have bands & decorated floats.

From the angle of my house, I can see - nothing! :-\

Well, I could probably see some of the pathetic 'displays' that have been going on in back gardens since 5pm - and are still going on, but I have to keep all lights on so the cats don't see the flashes, and TV loud, purely so I can hear it :-|

None round here at all, very quiet. A few I could see in the distance but only small ones in gardens.
