Wonderful colours, big sounds, bright bonfires great food childrens smiling faces......... two petrified and nervous dogs that look as though they are about to have a heart attack with every bang and flash. every firework seems to burst above my house. They are louder than ever before. Don't want to sound like a party pooper but does anyone care about the pets on bonfire night, which by the way no longer lasts one night. :'(
</p> Hundreds of children in A&E, some scarred for life, terrified livestock and pets, fires and property damage. Weregulate guns and sell explosives from corner shops.</p> It's time they were banned except for special licences to local authorities on ONE night of the year. It's been going on a sodding week now.</p> Having said all that I bet the fireworks companies support whichever party's in power quite generously so it's unlikely we'll see any movement, just more burned kids and terrified pets.</p>
My argument is - you expect them on November 5th so you can prepare. Down here we have had them everynight for the past 4 days. I wouldn't mind the pretty colours, the whirling whooshes as they fly through the air, but it's the seriously loud bangs that really wind me up! </p> At work we advise people to close windows and turn the volume up on your TV/Radio. Some of the bangers out now would struggle to be drowned out by chuffing Grimey band, ne'er mind the bloody telly!</p> What really gets me is; the same chuffs that are letting off the loud bangers are the miserable buggers that had the 'No trick or treaters' posters on their door!</p>
