Fireworks are far too cheap (even the expensive ones ::)) and too easily purchased by youngsters whose only intent is to cause disturbances in the immediate vicinity by letting the fireworks off at random intervals in various places. Why is it necessary for domestic-bound fireworks to be soooooo loud? The people that let them off most often stand too close, so close enough to them to hear any whizzes and bangs that accompany the pretty splashes of colour. Why is it necessary for anyone to purchase industrial/display sized fireworks anyway - very few of these people have a garden of a size to accommodate the recommended distance to stand away from these fireworks ......what carnage there would be if one were to explode......... We profess to be a nation of animal lovers too....when it suits us.... but like the Americans (we have the right to bear arms, and all that)....... so, we have the right to set off fireworks. Yes, please do - but can we respect others and keep to the rules of timing - 5th November between the hours of 7.01am and 11pm. Personally the ones I hate most are the ones that scream and bang and go on forever.
