Thank HEAVENS that is over for another year!!
Now, I *love* fireworks.. I even blew a stupid amoutn of money having a professional display at my wedding..
But I see NO need to sell them to the general public. The ones are sale are generally pretty rubbish, and for the past month they have been going off every evening, and for the past three nights they have been going off 24 hours a day.. kids setting them off in the middle of our street ALL night the past two nights (our road is closed to all traffic at the moment as they're playing our water works, so kids get the free run of it)..
Our laws are being tightened, no fireworks after 11pm for example.. BUT, the police in central London have way more important stuff to worry about, so the kids get away with it, and it left to the rest of us to put up with bangs all night.
Professional displays are safer as a rule, MUCH better, and limited..
I'm all for banning sales to members of the public I'm afraid
