When I finished work, drove out and within 5 minutes there was a fire engine tearing up behind me lights blaring, fireworks should be banned because they're noisy and a pain in the fucking arse but throw in that shit and just get this bonfire night thing to fuck immediately.

All for banning public sale of fireworks. Had the Baghdad soundtrack all week and there are still fireworks going off close enough by to keep me awake.

It's almost midnight on Sunday Dismay

So yes, they certainly should be.

Allowing semi literates from possil to buy explosives isn’t a good idea, get them banned.

I used to work at Tesco in Dumbryden. It was a big ugly building that looked like it was a giant air raid shelter painted blue.

One year the locals decided to test the strength of the aforementioned air raid shelter and aimed fireworks at the side of the building all night. We were literally under siege  Warnock

Fireworks are a nuisance and should be banned.

Yup ban them for public sale. Should be required to have a licence after having undergone some sort of safety training

Tesco Dumbryden Warnock Memories.

Not allowing the public access to explosives is possibly the biggest no brainer ever.

Death penalty for people who are cruel to animals, IMO.
