Ha! I scoff at your fireworks and ask you to consider Lewes on Bonfire Night - its a fucking nightmare for about a month or so before hand then on the wonderful day itself some bastard lets off a load of chinese crackers at stupid o'clock. Then the whole day fireworks going off, well more like small nuclear devices and then a load of fucking arseholes arrive from various parts of the world or county and piss me even more by getting in the way and all the pubs close and the price of everything goes up by double and the fucking police close the town off by about 5.30 so you can't go out of the town. Bonfire night I FUCKING hate it!! :mad:

[Dougie]

The Kiwis celebrate Guy Fawkes night,but the government are seriously thinking of banning fireworks.Many people are unhappy.......

Lewes fireworks are BRILLIANT, it's only one day a year. I only object when local scum use it as an excuse to let off fireworks until Xmas and I have to keep the cats indoors for 2 months. We live down the road from Lewes.
Life would be very boring this time of year with no celebrations or colour!!!

I have no reason to like fireworks! Thirty odd years ago my father bled to death on the operating table at Papworth Hospital on November 5th after 'successful' open heart surgery! I'll never forget driving the 40 odd miles to the hospital with my mother after being summoned by the hospital, in the early evening, with fireworks going off all the way along the journey! Every year I'm reminded off that trip! Also, i've never yet had a dog that isn't terrified of the noise of fireworks, and it starts late September and goes on till early December every year! I can't understand why kids aren't allowed to play conkers in the school playground ( when to the best of my knowlrdge it's never killed anyone), but explosives are on open sale all year round nowadays! I wouldn't ban them completely, but I would certainly ban the sale of them to the general public, and only allow organised public displays.

(sorry this turned into a rant, but I do feel strongly about this!)

Yeah, you see thats the problem I actually live in the centre of Lewes and believe me its a fucking nightmare, last year I got into a ruck with a copper because they had closed my road off and he got a bit miffed when I went past his little cone barricade and explained that I had right of access. Tell you what if its only one day a year send me your phone number and when the bastard who lets off the fireworks at about 4am i'll give you a call and you can listen to them as well. :D

[skida]

For the last week our dog has been severely distressed by all the fireworks going off and I am rapidly becoming a grumpy old man. And yes, fireworks are definately much louder than they used to be. :mad:

[Bosun]

You sir are right... and our neighbours like to use public display ones in their back gardens. Good job the poor westie is in dog heaven he would of had a heart attack. Still only two weeks of this til they use all their fireworks up. Is it me or does Halloween, or 'Hallo Ian', (ref cbbc this am and nev the bear says hallo ian') into fireworks night.... still moan moan humpfle whinge. :D

[dkneil]

where are they getting the money for all this noise,,,,when I was a lad I was lucky if I could get a box of bangers, and you had to put them in a milk bottle just to make the sound louder,,,,put a firework in a milk bottle today and you have no milk bottle left,,,,,,,,,,,,YES THEY ARE LOUDER,,

Anyone who rings me at 4am had better be wearing ear mufflers:D :D

[Friar Tuck]

Have you seen the size of some of the fekkers you can buy now?

They are bigger than a lot of WW2 ordnance jobbies!

and the price of them! I'd rather spend my money on something thats going to last! You are literally watching your money go up in smoke! might as well take a bunch of notes and set light to them!

Apparently you can't set off fireworks after 10pm now because of all the noise they create! How are the Police going to control that law then?

[Bud]

Very true Friar

You should try living down near Southampton Docks, when a new liner comes into port, we sometimes get fireworks untill 2 in the morning ( and the arn't the quiet ones ):mad:

FIREWORKS SCARE THE ST!T OUT OF MY DOG :mad:

[Friar Tuck]

Im lucky in that I have a labrador, and she totally ignores the bangs! I think it must be the gundog instinct in her! thank goodness! I feel sorry for all those peeps that have to try and keep their pets calm over the next few weeks.

[bigg]

Ban them .

[Dougie]

We have huge displays In Embra at the end of the Festival and at New Year,not to mention smaller ones every night of the Tattoo.The shockwaves from these have loosened masonry on several buildings in the city centre and even parts of Castle Rock.But because it's all for the tourists the citizens of this city are ignored by the powers that be...... :mad:

[Bud]

Ban them .
Pets or Fireworks :D
