I guess that's the difference between a family BBQ (as above thanks binkylilyput) and a blokes mates BBQ - buy beer, buy meat,go to light BBQ and no charcoal so drink beer then amble to corner shop for charcoal where more beer is bought but forgets charcoal to mates amusement when gets back followed by more beer drinking,trips to get charcoal and yet more beer before eating a semi cooked burger 12 hours later, throwing up due to alcohol and sunstroke then blaming it on the dodgy bag of peanuts billy bought with him ...


Perfection .... who needs side salad as if carlsburg did BBQ's they would probably be the best BBQ's in the world ...

    • That said, organised displays could be on Saturday before and after and the actual day, and private ones could just not have the loud ones.  It’s all down to accessibility and people caring/not caring
    • The problem this year is that 5th November falls on a Wednesday. So some places will be bringing their "bonfire night" forward to Saturday 1st and some will be knocking it back to Saturday 8th and there'll probably be a few that just go with Wednesday 5th anyway. If you're doing a public display, having it on a weekend gets more crowds. Which basically means a solid week of fireworks.
    • Fireworks in this area do feel totally incessant at this time of year, almost every evening there is terrible noise. I feel great concern for wildlife, pets (I have a senior cat who hates them), as well as people who struggle with PTSD etc. Last year I even had people setting them off in front of my home. Tonight and yesterday evening have been particularly bad. Is there anything we can do as a community to prevent this? What action can we take? Surely we shouldn’t be expected to just put up with it every year for weeks on end! 
    • Does anyone know what time tonight's events, the second night of the new phenomenon of Halloween Fireworks, end? These do sound too major to be anything but large- scale organised events and they are loud, very loud. So anyone, for their own reasons, that dislikes or objects to this level of noise for the next x amount of hours, really has no choice in the matter! Could those addicted to loud bangs possibly have a kind of silent disco setup with the bangs sent through headphones, so the rest of us could be spared?
