Fireworks

Absolutely hate them as it sets the dog off big time. We’ve had them round us for weeks now.

Unfortunately imagine it’s only going to get worse around here as Trafford Council have said they won’t be hosting an official display this year.

No surprise there from Trafford Council. They must have some of the worst roads in the country. Around Atlantic Street up towards Dunham is like a roller coaster, with deep potholes everywhere. It's been like that for years, with never any real improvement work carried out. For years they refused to repair the roads near the Saracens Head in Partington / Warburton because they said they were used mainly by Warrington drivers. They were shamed into eventually carrying out repairs as dozens of cars got burst tyres and damaged rims because of the potholes.

Apologies for straying off topic, but Trafford are a penny pinching bunch.
 
Even as an adult I still enjoy a proper organised friesworks display and maissive bonfire.

But it should just be restricted to Bonfire Night and New Year’s Eve.
 
Animal cruelty goes through the roof around this time of year with sick sadistic twats tying fireworks to animals really sad.
 
Like a fucking war zone at the minute. They're getting louder and longer. There are some that seem to have about twenty bangs one after another. They should be sold on November 5th and New year's Eve and restricted so they can't be stockpiled and set off for weeks afterwards.

You have to have a license to buy them here.
I remember "Bunty night" was great as a kid in Stalybridge.
Weeks before, chucking bangers and rip raps about, making girls scream, fucking great fun.
Used to make a rocket gun with a bit of piping, dangerous as fuck :)
Can't believe I was never injured.

There were those mini rockets which, with a bit of drainpipe or tubing, you could basically accurately bombard selected properties of disliked neighbours.
 
Definite racist edge round our way to the 'concern' about fireworks. Diwali fireworks seem to cause a lot more anxiety than guy Fawkes ones.

Free society mate or in other words, how to make loads of money.
 
Never had them going off for as long, or actually at all on Halloween, but last night was like the Somme here.
We are lucky as none of our three dogs are remotely bothered by them, but so many (including ones we have have previously) are terrified by them.

But it's not just dogs, cats and other family pets that suffer. Birds, foxes, deer and all wildlife are terrorised by them.

Bonfire night/New Year ... if they must, but ffs, it's over weeks now. Industrial strength explosions too. Some morons seem to think it's fun to set them off in daylight hours too ... Bizarre.
