Fireworks/Bonfire night.

[Djibrilshairdo]

Round our way to us kids it’s was a Bongy not a Bonty. Maybe we knew something back then.

I watch Antiques Roadshow sometimes and think we threw better stuff on bonty's as kids. Period furniture, pianos the lot, didn't matter as long as we had a fire to bake the spuds in and keep warm. No trick or treat either, just crazed rip-raps chasing you around and Catherine wheels that would spin off the pin whilst your eating tater hash, black peas, treacle toffee and parkin.

Ha ha , you are so right, if it burned it was burned, no ifs no buts no maybe’s :-) Woe betide anyone who didn’t give us their shed or antique cabinets to burn, everything got loaded onto the Bogey and shipped back to bonty HQ, bet it was like watching army ants, all the locals hiding behind their sofas as we stripped their fences... Happy happy days ...!

Not today
We had a kitchen ripped out yesterday and we couldn’t get rid of the wood for love nor money

We would have snapped your hand off, it would have been loaded into the bogey as you broke it up :-)) now that was proper waste disposal...

It was indeed, and a good deal for everyone
Now we have to pay someone to remove it and it then rot in a land fill

Bogy's lol. Those were the days, and I'm not talking bogy's as crows from noses! You are right mate, any kid who had a large pair of silver cross big pram wheels on the back was the envy of the estate. Carpeted of course; )

Time fireworks night was fucked off IMO. Lasts about 10 days either side, scares the animals shitless, not to mention the scrotes throwing them at cars and old women.

Even more scrotes seem to save them for the 'celebration' of it becoming midnight on Jan 1st, as if that changes anything.


Bah fucking humbug.

Tesco sell it or make some it's real easy to do

Ha, easy you say....I'm going to try it then.

Got some at my local Co-op earlier in the week. The woman at the check-out observed, “You don’t see Parkin much these days, do you? Then added, “Do you spread butter on it or have it plain?”.

(I do sometimes like it with a drop of custard, though.)

Never tried it with butter....

Going to one just outside of Tampa tonight - organised by the BBC (Brandon British Club) Brandon being the town I live in.

 

[Banned Tosspot]

For very sad people.

The history behind November fifth and the fireworks is very interesting. Nowadays though I think it's about having something to brighten things up before the long slog of winter nights ahead.
I love the fireworks displays though, really pretty

 

[FantasyIreland]

Oh god not another petition, this year's has started early though. Perhaps they will get more than 0.18% of the electorate to sign it this year.

You either sign or you don't, and judging by your apathetic response you won't.

Fireworks are getting louder each year and bonfire night is nowadays a 2 week period covering both Halloween and Bonfire night. I'm not a killjoy at all, but when people cannot let off fireworks at a reasonable hour then something has to be done about it IMO.

It's not fair on the elderly, young children, and pets scared shitless by something that sounds like a warzone. Plus many accidents can be prevented from those irresponsible in lighting fireworks, especially when larking about endangering themselves and others.

I think selling them a day or two before the 5th of November is the best thing the government can do about this, let's see what happens.

I've signed the petition FI btw.
