people letting off fireworks every frigging night in the weeks build up to bonfire night..how the hell do they afford it? its 6.40 pm in the forest of dean on Friday the 2nd of November and it sounds like the somme out there..
I think you'll find the phrase is, "it's like downtown Beirut out there!"
It's not just kids around here. At first, I used to think people were getting halloween mixed up with Guy Fawkes night. But now I just think it's as soon as fireworks become readily available in all the shops. Actually, if a few trick-or-treaters get shot to bits by rockets, I'm all for it [/grumpy old git]
It doesn't really bother me much. It's just that if these folks can afford to literally burn their money like that, can't they spare me a few quid?
