Personally I think the public sale of fireworks should be banned and only allowed at organised displays.Comment

In Germany fireworks are only on sale to the general public in the days between Christmas and New Year (called Silvester) and its a real pain as all the chavs in the neighbourhood let them off every evening, all evening during those days. At midnight on New Year everyone goes out into the street and lets of fireworks and it can get a bit hairy especially if you have the 'banger guns' which is a pistol where you put a banger in the end, light it and then fire it! You want to see the streets the next day, the mess. Mind you an Italian friend was telling me about New Year in Naples where it is also the custom to throw unwanted goods out, he saw a car crushed by a washing machine thrown out of a window and someone let off a couple of grenades. What gets me though is that although there are injuries here there aren't many especially considering that nearly everyone is pissed they don't seem to be as bad or as many as the UK on the 5th November.“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment
