Fireworks/Bonfire night.

[mexico1970]

The heady days when everyone had a croft and the bonfire built by children with everyones back gates and family heirloom brown furniture. Hanging outside the pub with the guy cadging for pennies for the guy.

Families used to come out watching and their fireworks were set off in turn for the benefit of everyone. jacket potatoes burned to a crisp on the bonfire were food of the gods.

Walking to school in the morning with the pavements littered with rocket stems and carcasses of spent fireworks and the acrid smell of black powder though the smog created by the festivities.

Now it's just random arseholes pissed up buying the biggest loudest bomb they can afford to set off all the car alarms, maybe I'm just a FOC who hasn't moved on but it's just not the same is it?

Dog going mental and scared to death.
It's going to be a long night week

My lad goes to dog creche once a week when Im working days. They have 20 dogs there in a day, brilliant facility on an industrial estate. Some cunts were letting fireworks off at 3pm on Monday behind the place deliberately to frighten them and get it kicked off there. A few dogs were terrified and it spread through the lot of them. What kind of wanker does that?

It's slowly dying a death thankfully. When I was a kid every street collected wood etcetera for weeks before. Who remembers raiding another streets stash or them stealing yours? Now you hardly see a public bonfire. There used to be loads of penny for the guy's on every corner but like the bonfires I don't see any now. This year is the first year I've hardly heard any fireworks, normally it's going for weeks before. Except for the actual night the only ones who seem to enjoy it are teenage yobs using them maliciously.

Personally I think they should never be on general sale but families should be able to pre order a set amount and only collect them on the night. This doesn't spoil the fun for kids but it does stop yobs causing weeks of misery setting them off at all hours

Gives cunts an excuse to be bigger one's.

Cretins mate that's who. They seriously need a good hiding if caught.

Genuinely though, i've not found any Parkin anywhere neither, or treacle toffee. Had to settle for Jamaica Ginger and Walkers treacle toffee from Amazon

I’ve always loved the tradition of bonfire night and fireworks but since getting a dog some years back I can now see the other side of it. He never used to be bothered about fireworks but the last couple of years he’s started to panic a lot more. We also look after a neighbour’s Staffy quite often and she’s always been absolutely petrified of them. They’ve took her away to their caravan near Lytham for the weekend in the hope that things might be a little quieter there.

My tropical fish don't seem the least bothered.

We could handle just one night. But we have had every night since Halloween. It's the only time my little Sergio doesn't enjoy walkies.
Then tomorrow everywhere is covered in litter. If you drop a sweet wrapper it's on the spot fines.surely it can't be good for the planet either.

My next door neighbour Catherine Wheel goes mad about it.

In an age where nearly everyone has a HD TV, most have Ultra 4K TV’s and you can connect and watch pretty much anything in the world at a touch of a button, you still have people attending these events to see some light go bang.

Why do fireworks have to be loud? Everyone marvels with their mouths open when a meteor happens and there’s no sound to it so why do you need the loud banging?

Ban the fuckers.

 

[Vincent van Rough]

I think the sound has been dampen over the years. Remember the 'Air bomb'
