If you mean having a grand total of 5/6 photos that have been randomly taken over the last 20 years then Yes!...portraits sadly none but you have given me a great idea, I could have a life size model made like Kim Il Sung...:)

My great-granddad apparently had a life-size photograph made of him that he put up on the inside of the door as a kind of warning to his kids every time they left the house. He ordered it off a door-to-door photographer, something you don't see much of now for some reason. Mind you, he does sound like a character (read, tyrant) from what I've been told. He worked as a drayman in Wandsworth, delivering barrels of beer to pubs with a horse and cart, and more often that not, stopping to sample the goods at every stop he made. Handily for him, he was eventually fired and thus free to spend all of his afternoons in the pub without pesky work getting in the way.

    • 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?
    • Another recommendation for Maurice. He did a great job replacing a leaking radiator. He is polite, thoughtful and efficient. Thank you very much.
