I don't see why those huge things are sold to the general public at all.That certainly should not be allowed. But as for age - well some adults have proved they are as dangerous with fireworks as any child.

fire works have been around for years, its the manufacturers who should be banned from making this stupid loud bangers, and stupid people also, but it will never happen, the goverment are probably making too much money from them, maybe the silly culprits will do us all a favour and blow thier bloody hands off!!

I really wish fireworks could only be allowed at organised displays and on one night of the year only - maybe then my poor dog wouldn't be driven mad by the damn things night after night. Tried tablets from the vets last year but they really didn't work.

Fireworks aren’t dangerous until you light one ANNE. It is the idiot lighting one inappropriately that is dangerous.

Sadly we cannot ban people but banning fireworks would only send then underground.

What is needed is stiffer penalties for misusing fireworks. But then we would need more police to enforce them.

I don't know about fireworks, but it's about time we banned this 'trick or Treat' nonsense; it is no more than blackmail. Unfortunatley, the little devils are under the age of criminal responsibility, otherwise we would have about a million of 'em locked up alongside those two that tried to do the Windsors the other month.
Anyway, I had a couple of 'em round last night ringing the door bell. This time I was prepared - I borrowed the neighbour's rottweiler. It's bark is louder than it's bite, but nevertheless when I let it loose at the front door those little rascals soon shifted. They may have been 10 or 11 year old, but they ran like Olympic champions.

Anyway, I doubt if they'll be back next year!

woof woof!
