Fireworks/Bonfire night.

Doesn't it? And it actually happens every year. It would seem that some people like to have fun responsibly whilst also doing a little bit for others. Who would have thought it.

Where have i said such behaviour is unacceptable? I wish everyone was so accepting and respectful of others,society would be a wonderful place.

Where are you getting your 80% from? You did a poll then? Nationally? Weird as I don't remember being asked.

What my friend does, and I suspect that this is the same for a lot of people, but I won't make up a percentage, raises money for a good cause, is done responsibly, and everyone there has a nice time. Of course I care about old people and pets. I care about a lot of things.

Your idea is based on the fact that you don't like loud noises and completely disregards anyone else's feelings or thoughts. Should we ban them because you get a little jumpy one week a year? And yet you liked fireworks as a kid but now want to ban them. How very fair of you.

As I said, ban them for sale to anyone under 25. Bring forward the curfew to 9pm. Plenty of time for everyone to have a nice time. And if you are a bit delicate then maybe shut your windows, listen to some music, maybe not orchestral, some gentle crooning will be more your thing, and relax safe in the knowledge that people are having fun.

80% was the percentage In a recent MEN poll. Not on here, however if Ric was too have one I'd estimate my figure to be correct.
Also again you mention 1 week a year, your wrong.
It isn't it goes on for 4 to 5 weeks.
As ever with these things it's the minority who spoil it, mainly scrotes and I blame poor parenting for a lot of it.

Perhaps if parents took a little responsibility and did things like Bimbo did then the kids would see it in a different light and not be such idiots

So ban them then from having kids if that's your gripe. The majority of people enjoy fireworks, if that's the right phrase, and do so responsibly. You want to ban that because you get a little jumpy. Anything else you don't like?

Your talking absolute rubbish.
1 week? It lasts for about 4 weeks minimum.
You sound as though you don't care about the impact on pets, the elderly and people like me who have anxiety.
Why should we have to listen to fireworks for weeks on end, often going off after the 11pm curfew? I use to like them as a kid but I fucking hate them now.
Ban them completely. 80% of the UK population agree with me.
Perhaps you should have greater consideration to others.

80%?? I reckon they only asked people over 50, who have actually forgotten how loud and dangerous fireworks actually were back in the day because BS fireworks were louder than CE fireworks, or people with pets and there is no excuse for the majority of pets, particularly dogs to be bothered by them. My dog sits in the garden watching fireworks and my cats sit in the window watching because they have been desensitized to them.
 
Don't forget about Divali. That happens the same time of the year.
