Fireworks complaints, yobs setting off noisy fireworks

A fireworks licence needed
It's that time of year again, where fireworks are set off in our neighbourhoods, at all hours of the day and night. Wouldn't it make sense if fireworks were licensed so the yobs couldn't get hold of them?

I'm no killjoy and I love organised firework displays, but the availability of these things for purchase by the ASBO generation is a recipe for disaster at worst, or a downright nuissance at best.

| 28-5-2010 | Bring back the good old Standard bangers & Pains-Wessex Jumping jacks.Meanwhile,lets ban Christmas & Easter too.Get a life.Leave our traditions alone. | Wise Guy |
| 26-4-2010 | It's these sky lanterns being sold in the £1-00 shops that we should be worrying about,
Rockets should be banned, but at least on most of them, the fire is out on touchdown. | gainsborough lad. |
| 26-4-2010 | When a rocket is sold the buyer should be given an £80 litter fine, because thats what it is when it comes down. | guy |
| 01-3-2010 | I disagree with the writer of this online complaint, I am not going to say anything else on this matter other than you can get it up you | Idisagree |
| 24-11-2009 | Yeah lets celebrate Guy Faulk's mission failure by letting off lots of small fireworks to explode in the air. Are fireworks taxed? Good so they should be. Where would we be today without the uk parliament. cough | Dundeebundee |
| 14-11-2009 | Muggins, yes we can buy fireworks in this country, and almost every year someone gets ki11ed by one, one way or another, I can't see our government's ever banning their public sale,
But lets be thankfull we can't all go out to the shop in the town, and buy hand-guns, pump action shotguns, automatic repeating rifles, as many rounds as you can carry, no matter how many people get shot to death, I can't see their governments ever banning their public sale.
Only in the USA. | Gainsborough lad. |
| 13-11-2009 | Fireworks may be fun for some, but they cause annoyance and/or upset to others. They are also very damaging to pets and wildlife. Australia has got it right, fireworks are not on sale to the public and are only available at organised displays. How come they are more advanced than us?
I thought the lanterns were possibly a good idea, quiet and unobtrusive, until we found what looked like a huge condom by our back door. It was a lantern cover. I can just imagine how great it would be to have some of those land in the trees, they'd be like plastic carrier bags only worse, and you'd never get them down. They must also be dangerous to animals, all in all very un-environmentally friendly. | Muggins |
| 10-11-2009 | childish; to be fair the firework was pushed through the letterbox and it set the house on fire. If you are determined to set someone's house on fire all you need is a rag and a box of matches. So, banning fireworks wouldn't really help, would it?
You could try to ban everything which could be used to cause others harm; but think about it first. What would you prepare your meals and eat them with? How would you light the gas to cook anything? Pieces of rope, belts, ties, stockings & tights could all be used to strangle someone.
It is the mis-use of fireworks which cause harm!

| 10-11-2009 | Congo, joking apart they are deadly, only yesterday on the news it was reported that a mother was ki11ed saving her son from a house fire caused by a firework, I don't find that at all funny, | childish |
| 09-11-2009 | ".......es they are pretty and a bit of fun but they can also be deadly"
The same could be said of women. :) | Congo |
| 09-11-2009 | I agree with all your comments for and against fireworks, but the FACT is how many are put in the wrong hands every year, every year hundreds of people are left with scars due to irresponsible use of fireworks, yes they are pretty and a bit of fun but they can also be deadly. | Mrs Practical |
| 05-11-2009 | Guys come on its all a little fun this time of the year to have the family round to have a organised display in our back garden,
As a tax payer I believe this should not be banned as everything we do in our lives that is fun is already banned, next you moaning people will ban toilet paper saying its not soft enough for your ass,
I say we live a little and stop moaning about minor things in life | live your life |
