Title: Is it really Nov 5th
Post by: waspy on 05 November 2008, 20:50:49
What's it like where you are? The firework displays seem to be very subdue this year :-? Last year, you couldn't stick a pin in between the bangs & flashes, sometimes there's a few mins between them

Hardly anything compared to past years over here.  No real buid up, and only heard the first fireworks this week.

Must admit, I prefer it this way.

I reckon this weekend will be biggy.

Though supermarkets are panicing and dumping stock cheap.

Speak for yourelf ::) ::) ::)

But I do agree. :y

We have just returned from a Huge oranised display in Stockton, all free, the way of the future I hope.
No many 'Garden fireworks' in our village, but seemed to be quite a lot in the town, why? when they have a huge display I can not say.

With the credit crunch maybe families are funneing thier money towards something that may last a while longer like Xmas pressies for thier kids rather than fireworks that are just a 20 second waste of time.   :-/

Quietest Nov 5th I can remember.  It's like a battle field for a week either side normally. If it has this effect, maybe a credit crunch for a week or so before every Nov 5th would be a good idea.

Not sure if I've mis-heard, but I think this is the last year for the private or garden fireworks. Apparently the only things that will be available to the public are the ones that go up to a max of 3 metres.  No limit to how loud a bang these things can have tho, so the Fido's and Tiddles of the world will still be nervous wrecks by Nov 6th each year.
