Add to that, is it such a great idea to sell high explosives to the general public?

Technically gunpowder is a low explosive, not a high explosive, but I certainly think that selling them to the public should have been stopped long ago.

You can see much bettern fireworks at organised displays and there's so much less danger of someone being injured, let alone (as happened down here on Bonfire Night) people setting up an impromptu display at the end of the road!

Also you can now get Quiet Fireworks which makes things less stressful for animals.

This is also true for PTSD sufferers and, IMO, these fireworks should be the only ones available. If you were near QA Hospital around November 5th it was like World War III out there

These days around my area it's not Bonfire Night that's noisy, but Diwali.
And they don't hold back when they buy their fireworks, some of which resemble bombs going off, and they will go on for 6hrs solid each night for about a week.
There's also a temple in the next road up from me which holds their own display so even with my windows shut you can barely hear the tv, and the surrounding areas including my road look like a BMW car park. It's a particular time of year i'm not too fond of.
You can only imagine how downhill the air quality goes, and those fireworks have to land somewhere too, but whatever you do.........don't drop a cigarette on the floor, [size=1em]or you'll get nicked.[/size] mokin :lol
