Fireworks have started

A couple of years ago, my friend bought some fireworks and food. They cost her £80. Whereas a family ticket to an organised display and some food is about £50.

Plus didn’t enjoy the home fireworks as she had to set them off etc.

About time these things are banned, they are completely unnecessary. The Scottish government have consulted on it and are planning on tightening things up but can’t see it happening. It’s stupid you can buy these things in Lidl.

And, the football fans now set them off during the day when their team wins?!

I agree.
Go to a display. Have a bit of trouble round here with kids letting them off at people.
 
Pretty quiet around my way this year. It was much more incessant 3-4 years ago.

I wonder how many people simply can't afford to burn the cash anymore.

There's a big ol fog all over here so they can't see their expensive explosives anyway.

LOL.

Same here - so seems to have dampened the enthusiasm for them so far.

Someone set some kind of monster off near the car park at work Sunday night - could feel the thump from the bang and the dispersion of sparks must have been easily 200m across.
 
For the first time since I can remember I haven't heard a single firework around here, not even from the luxury hotel down the road that seem to re-enact the D-Day pre invasion bombardment every year. Long may it continue!! Personally I would like to see fireworks banned from sale to the public. If you want to see fireworks then go to a organised display. It would stop them being fired at emergency workers like the yearly troubles in Dundee as well.
 
I can't even be bothered to "scrump" my neighbours fireworks through the upstairs window of a darken bedroom these days. All they do is make next doors dog back, at firework lighting intervals specifically. So a bang, a period of barking for 15 seconds, about 20 seconds of silence, then another bang and so on.

I disagree, the actual answer instead of banning everything, is to build more prisons and then lockup the scum that use them as weapons.
 
kids on the estate had a proper old school bonfire going like it was the 90s, you could definitely tell which areas were primarily English people and which weren't from the amount of fireworks being net off.

Although I did see a bunch of young Asian men probably 2nd/3rd gen brits in the immigrant part setting of a bunch of fireworks, almost no one else around there was.

Seemed like the more English and the more poverty the more fireworks were going off.


I went for a walk and had no fireworks shot at me so I guess that's something.

Fireworks going off all over the place here last night until about 10pm. I didn’t mind, I sat in the bay window for a bit on the comfy chair with a cuppa and watched them all going off.
