Remember remember sometime around the beginning of November
- Thread starter WorTortle
- Start date
Diwali was last weekend so we did some then, and the kids know we have more left for bonfire night so keep asking every evening if we can do them so will do some more tomorrow if the weather is ok.
It's just one time of year you really get to enjoy fireworks so why just limit it to one day?
Although during the week before diwali I was having a fag outside and a group of lads come past having the most fun Roman candle fight, I wanted to join in. So tou also have the kids buying and using them simply because they are being sold for longer and more widely.

Because they're supposed to be in memory of/a reminder of one day.
Traditionally, yes. But no one cares about that nonsense from long ago anymore, people enjoy the fireworks themselves much more than the history.

as a lad it was bangers ,air bomb repeaters and the odd rocket ,probably get a beating for lighting up a traffic light or a sparkler

again back in the day we did care about British history ,thats why we had a guy on the fire and we would always have a history recap at school in the days before .
Definitely wasnt just firework night

Christmas is a bank holiday and has a religious backing so easy to respect the day. But I'm sure you didn't need me to identify the difference between the two.
Yeh, but that was before the tamagotchi revolution - now there are so many other stories to tell as opposed to retelling learned history.

It's the nearest weekend to the actual date. MTFU and stop being such a miserable sod.

Doesnt help my 2 year old sleep, regardless of how much I myself “man up”
If it was one night, you might let it slip, but its been a sodding week of non stop idiots.
Personally, I feel that consumer fireworks should be as close to silent as possible. You want bangs, go to a professional display that haven’t aimed the sodding mortars at my windows... yes two this year have hit the windows.

I think it's technically illegal to fire, uh, fireworks in NZ outside of a 3 day window in November. You certainly can't buy them.

Thankfully our new pup couldn't give a damn about them. Some dogs in the family are a very different story though
About time they were removed from sale to the general public IMHO.

I've lived in Stafford full time since 2002, and we're pretty ok over here. Fireworks go off only on the 5th or give or take a day depending on which day the 5th falls on.
In year 2000, I spent a year in Bristol (Filton area) and fireworks were let off literally every day for a month, from around 15th Oct to 15th Nov.
