fireworks have been going off in my are since last week. I think all fireworks should be banned to the public and only for displays. I don't mind paying £3 to my local scouts to watch the event. but when the public have them they do stupid things like letting them off at 11pm. or throwing fireworks in the street ect.. events should be the only place to go and watch them in safety.

Why would I need to spend £50 on fireworks? I can just use my note 7 :smirk:

On the contrary, it is worth every penny to have animals poo in their owners gardens for the month of November.

there are some seriously boring people on this thread....

*you're

Completely agree with the cat fouling comments. It's absolutely disgusting. Thank goodness a sonic cat repeller works well for me.

Are you on crack or something?

Why should I tolerate a someone else's animal taking a s**t on my garden you fool! Dog owners now have to legally pick up there animals dropping or they can be fined hundreds, in some cases thousands of pounds! But for some reason cat owners can quite happily let there precious little fluff bundles s**t quite happily wherever they want. I literally have to go into my garden and collect all the neighbors cats s**t up every time my young children want to go and play in their own garden ffs!! How is that right?

My sister has three cats and she's trained them all to only go in the litter box. It's a pity other people can't be considerate enough and do the same. Anyway, rant over. Oh and just for the record Snappyfish, you're a bell-end.

then your a idiot... why should i be tolerant of kids and teen's having fireworks at 11pm+ at night ? and why should i be tolerant of kids & teens throwing fireworks ??
once again your a idiot !

I will say this most if not all Cat3 fireworks should have 25m safety distance, that's not just 25m between you & it that's 25m radius between the fireworks & YOU, next door, neighbours gardens, cars, houses etc so make sure you've got room.

Most city gardens aren't big enough for cat2 at 5 or 8m let alone the big cakes

Why are you moaning in a thread devoted to bargain fireworks then ffs?

You realise fireworks are available all year round right?

Also there are other celebrations other than bonfire night this time of year too.

Just be tolerant its only a few weeks a year not the end of the world

I did the one night out of the year the cops looked the other way. But the difference is where I grew up there was enough room not to have bottle rockets exploding over a neighbors roof. The reality is the backyards are not big enough in London and It's a pain cleaning up debris that falls off your roof after the first heavy rainfall.

Agreed but some idiot who has spent £40 in a supermarket is hardly going to put on a good display.

So please sell your laptop, car too to save air, switch off heating to stop global warming then send money to 6 billion people and explain children why is christmas tree offensive .

logic ?!?!? their has been no logic or standards applied to a lot of things over the past few years. standards has fallen way below par from what it was when i was a kid in the 80's. theirs no please,thank you manners from most of the kids now,but neither is their from their parents.

You could apply that logic to anything, cars for example, should we only let professionals use them, as I see some right muppets on the street with cars, as I do fireworks.

Wheres the deals on indoor sparklers, bangers and bombay matches?

Used to remember as a daft teenager going to the local shop and getting some random to pop in and pick me up a pack of 10 cheapo screamer rockets for about £3.

Would then proceed to snap the stick off, light them and throw at my mates 'headless chickens' we called them.

Those loud bang ones that are on sale at aldi that you spike into the ground we used to run around shooting them at each other like some council estate storm trooper tribute acts.

13 year old me was Rather daft looking back :confused:

Hahahah sleep well.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who couldn't understand your inane ramblings (seems like there were quite a few of us!). Have you been suppin back on grandpa's old cough medicine? Been doing a little boozing?

re: Waitrose today I looked better at sign on the firework cabinet - it's definitely BOGOF with cheapest item free.

Makes you feel like a big man I bet

If it *was* actually one night only, I don't think many people would have too much of an issue.

Unfortunately they start from mid October and last until the last week of November in some places, because dickheads have the same access to them as a can of deodorant.

​I havent no but ive been jtf a few times, they are usually decent. They have some good bigger rockets too, i usually only go for the barrages & big rockets. The louder the better :smile:

Everyone responding cares. That's the point of discussion. someone in the start of thread seemed to think irresponsible cat owners are to blame for a cat having a number 1 or 2 in his garden. That's pathetic!

Why don't you take your comments to someone who actually cares? You may have made some points but this is a thread for the best firework deals NOT for people to listen to your views on fireworks.

Another Halloween kn*b head! While I'm sat in the room you suggested, remembering how thick you are! Why do you and ya mate who commented go play sparklers in the garden, just the two of you!

Your dumb! Full stop! This whole thing has started becuase a human was worried about an animal going to toilet on his lawn!

where would you like the animal to go to toilet? Do you have directions!

Hot deals dumb asses once again! I suppose you go "ooo" "ahhh" to loud bangs ion the sky right!

F'in thick idiots!

if you had fireworks going off at 11 at night and later keeping you up plus the kids throwing them,and when i say kids i mean 13 - 20 year sold kids. you would not make comments like that. fireworks should be banned for sale to the public full stop and only sold to registered organisations. their not toys.

they do that in North Korea, just without the firework displays....

Thanks for that. If only I had realised all it would take it is to keep the dog inside, put the TV on and close the windows!!! I wondered why it was so cold as well!

​just saying for your money lidl and range are better quality and similar price

Waitrose are BOGOF (cheapest item free) across the whole firework range from the £3 pack x 10 of mega sparklers all the way up the £90 200 shot Cosmic Chaos and Stella Storm cakes.

One night. Millions of pounds blown up in the sky while millions of dumbfounded dimwits stare in awe, millions of animals are terrified witless and millions starve. Just another example of human idiocy at it's finest.

I'm guessing you missed a letter out when you typed 'are'. I hope you missed the 'a' off the end and not the 's' in the middle. :wink:

My house overlooks a council estate so I never have to buy these things. For some reason austerity has improve the show in recent years.
Amazing displays.

Great for putting through people's letterboxes as a prank. Thanks OP.

​no. my kind of fun is buying a load of firworks and having all the family round and my neighbours for a bonfire and firworks toffee apples etc. but i will say if it wasn't for curious people playing around with chemicals and rockets then there would never have been an industry that we now call space travel and without that the engineers would not have made the type if materials and technologies in space that you rely on every day. so next time you drive home cook a meal in under 10mins sit on a comfy sofa with a flat panel tv enjoying your comfortable like as a technology baby and someone lets off a firework for fun and curiosity just spare a thought fir the people all those years ago that did the exact same thing that has now enabled you to live the life you do. now cheer up and let people have a little fun. after all you could be sat in a house in syria.

they are fireworks and not bombs.. come on..we were all kids once.. lets not be too grumpy...

I have a solution for you. When fireworks are going on, keep animal indoors, close windows, put the TV or music on fairly loud to drown out any outside bangs still audible, while playing with your dog. These multiple distractions should solve your problem and keep dog happy.

Not a good idea. Really.

Can't argue with this.

Having seen my dog shaking violently in fear from the bangs of fireworks, I hate fireworks. They cause misery to many animals. I think they should be restricted to organised displays only on the 5th not for a 3 month period either side to any Hooray Henry with a spare few quid.

I have been buying my Nov 5th fireworks from Sainsburys for many years and never had any problems, normally they are by Standard (black cat) brand. we don't have any specialist firework shops near us and we only have a few simple fireworks for the children anyway.

​That is quite possibly the most ridiculous thing I've ever read. snappyfish. You need to go into a dark room, sit, and think about what you've just said, because I'm worried for your sanity, I really am.

It's like that in Ireland. But the result is that the public still buy fireworks, but illegally which means unregulated and costly. It's not the right route to go down.

What the heck are you on about?? Dumbest post I have ever read

I cannot even remember when was the last time I went out and had a bang... :/

you make a silly comment yourself. how about comparing the example properly.
How about giving the dog/pet the same amount of alcohol as the people you are referring to and see if they can clean themselves at any time , let alone a Saturday night.

Jesus, some people!!!

​if you didn't catch it then read it again. it's on the screen to read? or is someone reading it out for you? if that's the case then ask them nicely to help you out.

I must be really boring then - cos I love setting off fireworks. It's ace fun, and I'm a fully grown adult.

Unfortunately, nowadays I have to settle for a few in the garden. Gone are the days when you could buy a few rockets and bangers then fire/throw them at people in the street. Back then, most folks had their milk delivered in bottles and there would always be a few houses with "empties" outside their front door....oh how we'd laugh when we'd drop a lit banger in an emptie then dive for cover before it managed to shower you in glass! Those were the days...

You wot mate?

The one night of the year I get to use my garden without the fear of finding yet another little surprise from Tiddles next door.

If cat owners were as responsible as I am on bonfire night, and stopped their cats sh**ing everywhere except their own gardens, then they could take the moral high ground. Until then, pass me the next sonic boom!

i wouldnt buy any fireworks from supermarkets, they are junk. Waste of money,

​I was not talking to you, was replying to 'parkz' who I doubt is 4 years old. Bonfire night is one night a year, but sad individuals let them off in garden or wherever anytime of the year.

Ah yes, the annual "Fireworks are evil ban them!" vs "If you don't like fireworks your're a boring git!" HUKD argument. Personally I wouldn't waste my money on them as you are literally letting your money go up in smoke, but it's not really mine or anyone else's business if others want to blow money on them.

Just don't be divs with them and use a bit of common sense, please?

Go to an Indian shop for fireworks. None of these Farty little supermarket things. 1 fuse, a 500 shot cake. Happy days

Have you ever seen the look of fear, then amazement and they sheer joy on a child's face when setting off a few quid's worth of fireworks?

This is a British tradition that is hanging on by it's fingernails in the wake of Halloween - so turn your telly up and remember back to when you were young eh?

You cant beat a good firework display!

It is 1 night a year, my little lad loves them for short time they last. He thinks its fun, but hey hes 4.

Miserable sod.

guy fawkes is my favourite terrorist.

there are some seriously boring people on this thread....

Wilko range of fireworks :smirk:
http://www.wilko.com/icat/fireworks

Pointless things, waste of money... scare animals. Cold!

I would always tell everyone, never buy fireworks from a supermarket, and if you see these bogof deals or 2 for £10 or what ever, they were always meant to be sold at that price. Don't be conned in to thinking you're getting a good deal, go to a specialist firework shop if you have one near you.

fireworks have been going off in my are since last week. I think all fireworks should be banned to the public and only for displays. I don't mind paying £3 to my local scouts to watch the event. but when the public have them they do stupid things like letting them off at 11pm. or throwing fireworks in the street ect.. events should be the only place to go and watch them in safety.

I would normally enjoy fireworks, then I got a dog. you can see the hell they go through! F'in hate fireworks now!

Another vote here for firework crazy. Buy every year from them and always get fantastic fireworks and service at great prices! :smiley:

I'll just stick with my note 7, fuse is a bit unpredictable though.

I am with tinkerbellian on this. If you want a decent show go to a good dedicated fireworks shop.

I am Manchester based and used http://chorltonfireworks.com/ once and now go there every time.

I am not affiliated, I just love the service. It's so much better lighting one or two 100 shot cakes than messing around with a load of piddly things.

I recommend lidl or the range if you want the best fireworks . sainsburys are not up to much in my opinion.

..and let's not have any bomby night nutters this year shall we? :smile:

I'm lucky that I have a specialist firework shop near me , http://www.fireworkcrazy.com, blinking amazing fireworks, so much better than the ones I used to buy in the supermarkets. I know a lot of people don't like private firework parties, but our family all club together and have a really lovely night in the biggest family garden, works out cheaper than all of us heading to an organised display. Then we get to eat inside afterwards especially nice if the weather isn't great. The closest neighbours always watch out of their windows so I don't think we annoy them too much :wink:

re Waitrose : noticed in my local store today a large Fireworks display 'cabinet' near the Customer Services desk, with I think a large "BOGOF" sticker in its top corner. Didn't pay it enough attention to be sure and/or what the BOGOF related to.

Great. Love bonfire night and fireworks. Bought mine from Lidl as usual. Weco brand. The best you will find in any supermarket. Guaranteed! Big bang and heat from me.....

Oi, Not an appropriate thing to say about deeky :neutral_face:

Winter_Zombie
I'm in complete agreement with you the only reason this fireworks nonsense continues like this is the company's making money. My dog is terrified by 'em best if it was only done on Fireworks night at proper events.

Maybe, but it can be returned after for a refund :smirk:
