What is it with all these Americanism's creeping in by the back door? A traditional Celtic festival of the dead re-interpreted by the yanks and churned back at us in a money spinning annual guise (which oddly seems to start earlier and earlier each year!). Can we all stop falling for this rubbish, forcing people to fall for the five card trick with sleek and persuasive advertising each year. Bored of Halloween and grandparents day and all the other made up crap some marketing mogul has dreamed up in an office somewhere.

    • Signed, and I will share it elsewhere, thank you for posting this.
    • There’s a couple of Gov petitions going on in relation to fireworks at the moment but this one is for banning them entirely except organised displays if anyone wants to sign. This is the only sensible way forward in my view. No one should be able to let them off in gardens or anywhere like that, it’s crazy. I am surprised some of you have said it hasn’t been as bad this year. I live near DKH Saino and it’s been absolutely terrible my way for days. This petition gained about 20,000 just in the last day or so so clearly the appetite is there! https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/732559
    • I'd have thought they could use some of  their income from hiring out a large part of Brockwell Park in the summer (therefore, as I understand it, preventing local residents from using much of it) to put on a firework display there  in the autumn which might somewhat make up to those residents for the previous loss of use of the park. And also generate goodwill.
    • Clicking on your name, I see you've made seven posts on here since you joined  around four years ago, and they've all been about local libraries. And none of the posts are  very pleasant. Care to share with the rest of us where  your particular interest in libraries comes from? Do you work in one of them?
