Don't get me wrong, I quite like fireworks, but in the right place and at the right time.

Thats why I said Regulate as oppose ban, but what about my right to a good nights sleep , walk the dogs in peace ?

Couldn't agree more matey, its been like a recreation of a WW1 barrage round here for the last two weeks and will no doubt continue until after New Year.
Its the commercial gain thing though. Now that we are a 'more diverse society' than we ever were, that fireworks are 'used' at so many different times thus resulting in all year round sales, although I don't know which creed, faith, religon or belief that says 'thou shalt go and let them off in the middle of the street, fire them at vehicles, and generally be a pain in backside'.
At the risk of being labelled a supporter of the nanny state (which I am most definatley not), if they were sold to a person for a certain area, at a certain time, then I don't see a problem.
Budgie:
I'd ban them from public sale and make them for organised displays only with licenced people only being able to purchase them.
It would dramaticly reduce the numbers of injuries each year, stop us having to endure 3 months of bangs, wooshes and scared pets.
Bottom line is that we're celebrating the actions of a terrorist by selling kids exposives! Anyone see anything wrong with that in this day & age? :?
datalas:
I think we should celebrate Guy Fawkes this year in a very apt remake of the end scene from V for Vendetta...
Hmm, hello mr officer, don't you respond quickly these days...
Cate:
*lifts soap-box into position ... stats rant*
fireworks should be on firework night only, not before or after
Christmas should be in December only, never before
Easter eggs should be sold at Easter time only
Boxing Day sales should be on Boxing day, and not the 30 day run up to
...anyone found infringing these rules and selling Christmas wrapping paper in November, Easter eggs on New Years Day etc etc will be shot. Dead!
*puts soap box away and gets shot for being un-pc*
anymore?

So you propose a fairly liberal stance on this matter, Cate? :lol: :lol: :lol:
