Fireworks

[Amos Hames 2]

What are your feelings on Fireworks. Should they be banned or are they just a bit of fun. Your thoughts please

 

[Roger]

Kids like them but dogs don't. I think they should ban the really loud ones.

 

[Barrychuckle]

Think they should only be permitted at organised events.

Fun when you're young, ok when you're older, but I agree they're not good for animals.

As you say fun when you are young but now the kids seem to go to extreme lengths to maximise the level of sound put them in all sorts of containers and of course no observance of the time constraints of when they can set them off , assume a lot have been somehow pilfered because the prices are so high to buy them , the numbers set off around here and I suspect may locations preclude from the being bought by kids.

That reminds me, Captain. When I were a lad, I emptied the contents of quite a few bangers, making a small heap of gunpowder. Lit it.... Couldn't open my eyes as my eyelashes had welded themselves together, accompanied by a smell of burning hair. Happy days??

With all of the veterans there are suffering from PTSD and having melt-downs at anything that sounds like firearms, I'd plump for silent fireworks. Noisy ones aren't a problem for me since I was dosed with an intravenous ototoxic antibiotic for a couple of months. All I have to do is turn my hearing aids off to convert the world from very quiet to silent.
