What about if you pinch their bike to saw the frame up for Air Bomb mortars?

They will annoyed if you pinch their n+1 bike.

I didn't know vegans were against fireworks. You live & learn.

Vegans are against pretty much everything fun.

Cyclists don't mind fireworks as long as they aren't thrown at them.

And cyclists, probably.

People who do it one evening for bonfire night are not annoying anyone except the vegan killjoys.

I love rockets so would have lots of those. Plus blow up toys.

FTFY

I used to be the annoying neighbour who would have lots of fireworks. Only one evening a year and done by 9pm.

LM had a big bang?

Speaking of neighbours, our village FB group is afire after people dared to set off fireworks last night, 9-10pm. Everyone up in arms saying fireworks should be banned outside official events, etc... mainly pet-owners.

Ours too, or "Nextdoor" which is the same sort of thing. Every year the whinging about fireworks comes out, although truth is I have only heard a couple of short volleys so far. Must admit I rather like them, and our old dog is so deaf now that he doesn't notice at all - although it is true that he used to hate them.

Indeed.



There are quite strict laws (whether followed is another matter). There are only 4 days a year you can legally set off fireworks after 11pm and that is before any local council restrictions: https://www.gov.uk/fireworks-the-law

Round here at least, we tend to get them every night for 2-3 weeks this time of year in greater or lesser numbers. Claims a lot of it is kids being daft. Does get a bit wearing but I'm not a fan of the moment anything is inconvenient, it has to be banned.

Yep I have no problem with fireworks finishing at 10pm at the weekend (Fri/Sat), not on a school night and think about the pets.

8 foot is more than 2 metres. AFAIK needs planning permission.

Now if they had put up 6 foot they would probably be alright.

Indeed.

9-10pm we should be so lucky its Diwali soon and Eid is also a popular firework time. Midnight is the normal finish time.

Makes us glad we don't have neighbours, because the most beautiful house in the most idyllic street is only ever one person away from being awful. We were chatting the other day about a house owned by elderly friends in a picture-postcard little village, that we often joke we'd like to buy when they find it too big, and whether we would ever choose to have next-door neighbours again if we can help it.
