We weren't allowed to have a bonfire or fireworks on a Sunday. Can't remember whether we had them Saturday or Monday instead.
Fireworks
- Thread starter monkey hanger
- Start date
Just a little side note here folks, the Germans & lots of European countries tend to celebrate New Years with a major blow out & lots of fireworks. This year in Germany the Govt & the Lander have decided there is to be a ban on the sale of said items so as not to overload the health system with additional injuries clogging up the Ozzys on top of the covid carry on (and to also reduce pollution levels).
If folk have some lying around from a previous year they can fire them off, but the shops will not be selling them, this is now being challenged by the firms in Germany who make fireworks because such an action will be losing them a vast amount of their yearly turnover. Furthermore, it will mean folk sneaking over borders to buy legal & illegal products from neighbouring countries.
Seems that politicoes, regardless of their nationality or leanings really don't do joined up thinking & the assessment of cause & reaction.

Stantons were an accy firm, and deliveredto many places so was probably yorkshire, to educate them to decent pop they were in stone bottles also.
We awaited Friday night with anticipation.
That was the evening they delivered to Marsden Street.
We waited at the bottom of Riley’s Hill with our two stone bottles…..we mostly got sarsaparilla and dandelion and burdock…but sometimes ginger beer.
It was rationed at our house…because it was a luxury.
Can you imagine explaining a glass of pop being a luxury to the kids of today?
