It's like living in a war zone. We don't know if they're fireworks or guns or bombs. You have never heard gunfire or a bomb then? They sound very different. I was living about 3/4 mile from the bomb at Bristol university a few years back. I heard it and knew straight away that it was *not* a firework. It wasn't loud just far more percussive. The same applies to gunfire. I was also in Birmingham seeing Spike Milligan when the Pub Bombs went off, again it sounded different to thunder or big firework(s). -- Cheers Dave. pam is missing e-mail |

from another point of view I know a blind girl with a guide dog, which gets
that scared of fireworks they have to use tranquillisers to calm the dog down,they may have to retire the dog which she has had for years!!If there aren't any set times how can she go out & be safe!I don't mind fireworks on the 5th November & new years eve,but that should be it.after all isn't it guy fawkes night, not month or in alot of cases months. How can you compare a bbq with fireworks,I know you put bangers;-)(sausages) on a bbq,but there is no comparison! You are a TOSSER if you set fireworks off other than 5th nov & new years eve & after 9pm.This isn't a attack on anyone in the group unless you apply to this.You will understand if you have kids & pets or any decency in you!Mind you some of the nesbits who have there kids up at all hours,nowadays! no wonder society is like it is.I will now get of the soap box,but I am sure this isn't the last word on the matter!! thanks all kenty ps what happened to gardening,it must be those dark nights! gardening withdrawals. .."Anthony" wrote in message ...

That's the difference then - you are lucky enough not to have experienced what it's been like for most of us for the past few years. It used to be ok but it sure isn't now, it's gone completely OTT. |

LOL re the sausages. Yes BBQ's was a strange comparison. Mowing the lawn might heen a better one - noise pollution. Oh and it's get's us back on topic ;-) ."Anthony" wrote in message ...

The message
from "Mary Fisher" contains these words: And Guy Fawks night isn't commercialised? Of course it is. A son bought £80 worth of boxed fireworks (as ASDA prices) for £16 at his wholesaler. What sort of profit is that? That is commercialism. You can make your own Christmas cards, you can't easily make your own fireworks.

How can you predict something that was posted two hours before you made your prediction? By the simple procedure of not sitting continuously at the computer reading posts, and by the natural delays which sometimes occur in the transmission of posts. I did predict it, honest I did.

I just like to generate the illusion of bad spelling by careful manipulation of my typos. {:-)) Whats up with people when others have a different point of view that they have to get all picky and personal?

I am not "lucky". I live where I do because I worked hard and bought my way out of a council estate in an inner city! I left there because I couldnt stand the almost daily intimidation, thefts , vandalism . Its not Halloween or bonfire night that creates this problem , its a 24/7/365 problem. People who blame bonfire night are just looking for a scapegoat for what is actually a wider social problem. |

"mich" wrote in message ... As for my animals , they were fine. I have yet to have a "terrified animal" on Bonfire night or the nights that suround it! Are you sure your not reading your feelings into their behaviour? I was caught in a traffic jam and didn't get home 'till after dark. Our Newfoundland, who is terrified by bangs, had broken through the fence trying to find an escape from the bangs and flashes. My neighbour had taken him in and was trying to comfort him. Fireworks on Nov 5th, Diwali and New Years Eve we can cope with - and enjoy. But it's been like the blitz here from the last few days of October, with fireworks going off in all directions EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. I'm no spoil-sport, but if parents can't exercise control and persuade kids that fireworks are for special occasions, then the law must. |
