Not fair on the patients or the consultants, either. My brother's an ED consultant and he is on his knees - they all have the flu but have to work through it, because it's so busy at this time of year. Adding the strike to this just makes everything feel even more impossible and he's pretty low right now. -
These very anti social fireworks went on for at least fifteen years and were unbearable for both humans and pets. Was extremely relieved that they moved a couple of years ago. Never experienced such close proximity loud fireworks before. But the ones that go off in the middle of the night are also very upsetting and annoying. -
Not they've gone. Everything has been ripped out. No sign of anyone new yet. -

The frequency of fireworks seems to be increasing. If revellers selected the low noise variety that would help, but the trend seems to be the louder the better. I do not think sensitivity to stimuli is the same as timidity. Unexpected, extremely loud bangs and unusual noises will startle most of us. Humans, unlike other animals, have the luxury of knowing what fireworks are and what the noise represents. Some animals do learn to cope but many do not. It could be their hearing is not as sensitive. We should not forget that many animals, including cats and dogs have hearing that is much more developed than ours.
