Can someone please explain to me why firework season now lasts a friggin month?
November 5th is over a week away and there have been fireworks going off randomly for the last week or so
Can people not read a calendar? It's really not that difficult FFS!
Why don't these nuckledraggers think of the poor kittens terrified and heading through their cat flaps like torpedoes to safety, and the poor puppy dogs cowering under the dining room tables not to motion the horses shitting themselves locked it their stables not knowing WTF is going on!
Inconsiderate, illiterate, bottom feeding, mouth breathing fucknuggetts these people are!😡😡😡
Edited to add....,
I will now be celebrating Christmas on the 19th December, and will be starting 2017 on the 27th December in sympathy with these idiots Oh, and my birthday is being moved as well to a week earlier....take note Mrs Berg, it could be your lucky night sooner than you think!!👍

Being on a fairly modern housing estate with families it's quite funny in a way watching their money go up in smoke as they try to 'out do' each other with their fireworks. Personally I would ban them for sale to the public and make folk stick to properly organised and licensed public displays that can only be held on one night ie 5th Nov, and if I'm feeling generous New Years Eve.

The Hindu festival Diwali is also around this time of year so that all adds to the general pyrotechnic craze.
Interestigly our two cats dont bat an eyelid at the noise, they do however dash into the bedroom when the engine starts!

Apparently the law prohibits fireworks after 11pm except on New Year's Eve, Chinese New Year and Guy Fawkes night.
it doesn't help my pups who needed a sedative and calming music from 5pm all last week and no doubt all of next week too.

We have just got home from the boat, and after a few nights in total peace it sounds like a war zone here. It is Diwali so that is why there are a lot of fireworks at the moment,

Just seen on a local "lost pets" site on FB that a lurcher, scared by fireworks when walking on a local beach, was found drowned today as it had run away and become cut off by the incoming tide.
Stupid morons.

20 or 30 years ago, the fireworks started (certainly in South Yorkshire where I live) about September. They were a serious problem.
I suppose to have a noisey weekend a week before Guy Fawkes night is an improvement, but still annoying.
A pal of mine blew himself up and suffered facial burns in the 60's, playing with fireworks. Stupidly he dropped a lit banger in the tank of an abandoned and wrecked car. It certainly banged! Sort of stupidness 10 year olds get involved with.
I've avoided personal contact with fireworks ever since.

I'm a bit ambivalent - enjoy a proper organised event, but where I live does sound bit like a war zone from about now until mid November. Our cat used to just sit in the garden doing the inscrutable cat thing and seemed oblivious to the noise.

Grumpy load of buggers. I can remember rocket wars with the kids from the next street.Firing them from bits of old gas pipe and using banger's as hand grenades, and shoving them up exhaust pipes. Collecting money via penny for the guy outside the underground station for weeks prior.Must have been late 50's.There were still plenty of bombed out houses around then. Bloody marvelous times for kids.

just be glad you don't live in Malta. when i lived there in the 70's, each village celebrated its patron saint with a firework display, which meant disturbance on maybe 100 nights of the year. the air-exploding rockets from the furthest parts of the island could be heard in the capital area.

We had fireworks going off on the towpath directly opposite our boat over the weekend. It felt like WW3 had started and we were in the firing line. I like fireworks and look forward to the organised events but on the towpath? Really?
