It wasn't me that started either of those petitions, but if it makes lawmakers look again at the current rules, which appear to be lax, then that's a good thing.


More were let off last night. It appears to be about the noise factor with a lot of them.


If you can think about how to address these idiots then do share!

So people complain when Fireworks are set off at night and then others

complain when they are set off during the day.


Having attended Carnival in Catalonia and other parts of Europe I can tell

you daytime Fireworks are very common.


Some of the biggest displays in the World are in the daytime.


One of the Worlds biggest:- Mathaf Opening of Cai Guo-Qiang: Saraab

Just signed both petitions. Really distressing night for my dog & toddler. Would like a ban to the public for private use and just keep them for public displays. We get the all year round not just Guy Fawkes & NYE anymore. It's just the really offensive loud bang ones that people now seem to be setting off, they sound like bombs and they're rubbish compared to the other quieter fireworks that are at least pretty to look at.

I was in a small town in Taiwan a few years ago and saw people casually pile up firecrackers in the street and then set light to them. It was just outside a busy cafe, with cars parked on both sides of the road, in the middle of the afternoon. No one turned a hair (except me, the only westerner present). In Amsterdam at New Year I've had firecrackers thrown at me while cycling as snow was falling, and narrowly avoided rockets that people were letting off in the street.


While I'm not a fan of the noisy kind of firework and I'd be in favour of a noise limit, it's actually pretty under control here when you compare with other places.

Well obviously not all year round in the sense of everyday if that's what you mean? Actually I'm not sure what you mean or why you are picking me up on it. I said all year round as in several times a year, throughout the year, does it matter anyway! It's bloody annoying regardless of how often it is.

    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.            
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
