Re: Concussive Fireworks

Living in a village the only "big" displays that we have to concern ourselves with are those on or around 5th November, New Year's Eve and one or two events held by a couple of local pyro[technic]maniacs who seem to have more money than sense and like to celebrate with a bang. On those occasions we have to make sure that we are in the house to sedate our dog and cat with biscuits and loving kindness.

The real disruption we have is from one or two yobs that roam around sporadically letting off fireworks any time during the hours of darkness - and I mean anytime. I think last year one banger went off at 1 a.m. and it then took us an hour to settle the animals back down again. That silly season starts about now and tends to fizzle out around the 10th November ... where do they get they money from??? At least with displays you get it all over and done with in one go ... try letting off a banger every 47 minutes and then see what the neighbours think!
