When i was a kid i got a box of standard fireworks 2 packets of sparklers and 3 rockets. My dad would set them off in the back garden - shut the dog in the front room with the curtains closed and light on and the telly going loud enough to hide the bangs. If dad had any wood we'd have a bonfire - mum would wrap spuds in tinfoil and stick em in the bonfire. Then we'd try to get them out. One year mum had just got a new mop and sis used that to poke the spuds out!!! lol mum went doolally!!! The fireworks started about 6.15 round here the last ones went off about 11pm. Thing is though everyone was happy with the box of standard that they used to get. Now with all the organised displays they want that kind in their back garden. Its called going one up on the neighbours!!!
