There should not be any more after tonight. Fireworks were from November 1st-8th. As the main event was on a Wednesday, displays were on the two nearest Saturdays.

Aww! Lots of fireworks here too. I guess it's because it's the weekend following the 5th and families with kids are more likely to go to displays on weekends.

One shop in town was selling big boxes half price today. I think you're right Ms Walker. People seem to stock up at this time of year for birthdays or any other celebrations they can think of from now until New Years Eve.

The first political party to have the balls to say they would stop manufacturers selling fireworks to the general public would get my vote,no question,i don't care who they are or what else they stand for.

And me - but they won't because everyone will bleat that it will lose jobs. I wouldn't mind if fireworks were the nice colourful fireworks of my childhood. Now they're just white flashes and loud bangs. I can't see the point in them at all. |

Fireworks aren't illegal, and people can use them any time of the year they choose.
You chose to keep a pet, so deal with it. Yes I do have animals. |

![]() Try the DAP devices recommended on the pets and fireworks thread. Worth a go, made a huge difference to my dog's stress levels. |

it was the 11th yesterday and we still have people firing fireworks where we live. I just want to go and shoot them.
I feel like we have been under house arrest for 3 weeks now, due to not being able to leave dog alone, as poor thing get so scared. We had planned to go out tonight, but have now cancelled as we don't want to leave the dog in case of more fireworks. The government should seriously impose laws on fireworks and when they should be allowed. A friend of mine had to put her beloved dog down last christmas because it got so freaked out by the constant fireworks and never recovered. |

. Ther'd just be a few retailers missing out on some quick / easy profits selling them to teenage terrorists. I have a furniture shop near me who sells fireworks for Guy Fawkes and new year. I wonder if thier insurance company know
