Existing law prevents their sale to under 18s, but some adults are just as stupid in misusing them. Two nights ago a family with 2 teenage children in a small silver car parked next to the (soon to be demolished) football changing hut near my home. For about 30 minutes thet let off fireworks on the steps of the hut and near their car (stupid!!!), and the girl chased her brother on the road throwing fireworks at him. Presumably their parents could see no harm in this behaviour
Their fireworks were endangering not only themselves but the livestock in the allottments right next to them - If a fire had been caused I would have sympathy ......with the chickens!!!!!
