is it me or are this years fireworks louder,i take my dog out everynight after work about 8:30 ish,its like baghdad at night here in ossy,dog dosnt mind them at all but that may change after rockets being aimed at us by a few little s**ts on whiteash playing fields,and yes i did have my poop scoop with me  :P
 
Hi hate fireworks anyway, don't have a clue why but the noise just scares the bejesus about of me  [smiley=eek.gif]

Sound like a wimp, but i can't help it  :-/

And i hate it that kids can get hold of them before the actual "Bonfire night" Cos cats and dogs are terrified sometimes.   :o
 
My dog is terrified of them, and they are very loud. It seems to get earlier every year does bonfire night. I wouldn't mind, but they let them off during the day round here which is pointless really. What concerns me most is that the people letting them off are mostly just kids, had the police round a couple of times last year, but the kids had long gone by the time they got here.
 
Surely the simple solution is to ban their sale to 1) Over 18's 2) to 2 days before 5th Nov 3) to make it a criminal offence to let one off before Nov 5th or any other designated day....It's exactly the same down here by the way
 
Agree with the chief constable from Liverpool.He was on Granada and basically said that anybody in England with a retail licence can sell them.People should be made to do some form of special schooling to realise how dangerous they are.Here in Germany you can only buy them 4 days before New Years Eve so the problem is not too big.
 
I have to say that i totaly agree with tealeaf on this one, better still, it's now time to have more organised events then maybe this problem would hopefuly go away. I am not a killjoy,it's just that for years now fireworks have got totaly out of hand. there going off now as i am typing this.
 
tealeaf you have hit the nail on the head,surely it would stop kids having accidants if the age was 18 to buy fireworks,good idea about the 2 days before the 5th of november too.i say tealeaf for prime minister :D
 
Got to agree with Tealeaf. If we must have the things then they shouldn't be allowed to let them off before the day.
I only have to hear them and they fill me with dread.
I bet half the kids today don't even know what it's all about.

Eh?  Tough action?  Sorry but am i really the only one who can't see any tough action. people lose limbs and sight and end up in hospital while the police post letters to the very people who are letting there kids run about wiht fireworks.
 
Who remembers the days when a police car outside the door was either a loved one's accident or a scource of shame?
 
have to agree with harry dont see the police doing anything about the fireworks
letters wont stop them.
as i am typing this there are fireworks going off and its only 5pm
 
Send a rocket through the Chief Super's window...that would wake him up & maybe get some action on the problem...
 
I must apologise for the text I submitted I didn’t think that anyone would of been offended.
I was wrong.
Did not mean to cause any upset

Very sorry
Len
 
Of course Mik the Germans don't have a bonfire night so they don't have a Guy Fawkes, perhaps they should have a fire and burn effigies of a well known German.

These fireworks around today are really like military rockets.Twas over the market last Sunday and suddenly a volley of about 5 Rockets were fired into the crowd from some Council Flats, it was like Apocalypse Now, with these big red rockets...luckily nobody was hit,then a kid with a mask on popped his head up from behind the wall and was taunting the people...little b*****d!!!
 
Very loud round here tonight, my dog is now terrified and hiding behind the chair. Went out a couple of nights ago to complain to somebody's parents and was told to go away, but not quite so nicely - charmin >:(
 
Your not wrong Lettie. I was supposed to be going to do a late night shop at Asda.
Got has far as the shop at the bottom and came back home.
Far to scary. Dreading Having to walk to work tomorrow night.
I hate the dam things.

No but they have implied the law in the direction of what some forum memebers wish for.
1. No sale to anybody under the age of 18
2. Only allowed to sell 2 days before the event.
3. Hitler was Austrian if that was the effigy you was talking about.Started out in life as a painter and decorator.
The implement of the first two above worked well
