I’m terribly sick already of the banging, exploding, whooshing and whirring of Fireworks! Regulations have been made stricter this year for shops and supermarkets selling fireworks and in some case full bans.

I cannot understand where all the groups of thugs are getting them from legally, thus thinking probably most of them are in-fact illegal! I don’t mind watching a professional display or 2 but once you have seen one rocket explode in the sky, you have indeed seen them all! The affect on pets is never really brought up, yet the sheer stress the 5th November can bring to them is worrying and upsetting. I’m glad restrictions and law changes have happened this year but the police really need to step up in ensuring that the hooligans of whom are setting them off by themselves are either licensed or at least bought legally. As long as they are in safe hands and a safe environment however then I don’t have a problem... slightly overrated though aren’t they? How do the hooligans even afford Fireworks? money up in smoke I say!
