Personally I hate the things. I know someone who lost the sight of an eye because a stray rocket from a display hit him in the face.
I also think they are too damaging to wildlife. Must scare the hell out of roosting birds.
Wild-Woman the killjoy.

thats's awful and it happens every year that people are killed or injured. Over the past few years there's been at least two features on the local news where the peoples houses have been seriously damaged by big rockets. I suppose like most things they generate a lot of money so shops continue to sell them.
