Me neither but the natives love them round here. I could suggest why however wish not to offend!!

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

Bonfires and fireworks, all in the name of 'tradition' at this time of year. but look at all the other stuff that goes on with New Year,

In Sussex it's a big thing for all the towns and villages. In my limited experience it also gave adult bonfire audiences the excuse for arriving at an event totally pi5hed and throwing their own fireworks around, endangering property, livestock, pets, and people.

Then you've also got the NI bonfire groups there.

Aside from the global-warming stuff, they should be stopped because it encourages some adults to behave like morons.

I disengage, I turn the page.

I have no idea to whom you refer

The gunpowder plot isn’t celebrated. It’s the foiling of the plot and that our democracy survived that is celebrated hence why a guy is burnt.

And I’m sure that Duvali was a week or two ago.

They should be banned from sale to the public. They seem to be let off all year round for any reason whatsoever. Whether it's someones birthday or they had a baby or any other spurious 'event' is no reason for fireworks. For specific events, New Years Eve, Guy Fawkes Night, etc. how about donating the £100 odd quid (or whatever is spent these days on a lame back garden attempt) into a fund by an organised display team. Imagine the display then if the public also donated to the existing planned events.

Systematically dragged down by the lawmakers

Yeah, but be fair, they have probably put off having the latest tat done til after Christmas for this.......

A stairway to Heaven and a Highway to Hell give some indication of expected traffic numbers
