[Acrylic-bob]

A little while ago, there was a thread which asked whether the sale of fireworks should be banned. I contributed my opinion to that thread and said that although I recognised that they could be a nuisance at times I was very firmly in favour of the continued sale of fireworks to the general public.

Nothing in my opening post of this thread could possibly be construed as being contrary to that position.

The observations on the behaviour of my neighbour are no more than any other householder would make when faced with the sort of excessive indulgence in any activity we have witnessed for the last week, if anything and on reflection, I think I was being a little too kind.

Acrylic-biff would be the first to tell you, if he could talk, that he is anything but pampered! Like many other pet owners I am concerned at the effect that fireworks have on a valued member of my family who cannot understand why his home appears to be under attack. I can, and do, cope with the noise, he cannot and so most of my time on bonfire night and again on New Years Eve will be spent reassuring him so that he is not tempted into harming himself - which is quite possible.

Of course, it should go without saying that I forgive you for misunderstanding,
and I am sorry that you appear to have gotten out of bed on the wrong side again this morning, why don't you try moving it dear. It always works for me
