I've never shown any interest in fireworks or Bonfire Night and I've never spent 1p on such things.
Likewise my own children have never been interested and come bonfire night I would tempt them with £20 each to go shopping instead of seeing money go up in smoke.
My own parents did the same but probably bribed me with a copy of the Beano.
During my early teens I did the wood collecting and making a gang hut before setting it alight but basically always looked at fireworks as being a waste of money.
My next door but one neighbour always spends £1000 on fireworks just to see them go up in smoke - I really don't understand it especially when he can't afford stuff.
What is the actual thrill?
If somebody said I could go off to a field somewhere, pay £50 and blow lots of stuff up then that would be tempting.
Anybody else feel like me?
