You can buy them in Tesco and Morrisons, so I guess they are available elsewhere....... :y  Think they are tightening up on who they sell them too, not like the old days when Bangers were freely available :-X

Blimey, they must be old days of looooooonnnnnnnnngggg ago!! :o :o :o

Certainly since I joined the retail trade in 1965 I can always remember that a Firework Licence had to be held to sell any fireworks, along with a Tobacco Licence to sell tobacco product, a Milk Licence to sell milk, an Ice Cream Licence to sell ice cream.......etc, etc. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;)

Been brilliant so far, not heard a single firework.

Where are you Skruntie, the moon?


yes, the bit on the left, the darkside.......PMSL

No Seriously, I have not heard a single firwork going off.  Which is why I wondered if they had been banned from selling them.

You're probably going deaf Skruntie! ::) ::) ;D ;D ;D ;)

No I never did anything like that, as I was a good girl I was!! ::) ::) ::)

I agree, partly because I know what I used to do. Thing is we were just bloody daft, some kids now are malicious if not violent and do use fireworks to hurt people.
Profesional displays only, in my opinion. Stockton Council do an excellent one on the riverside and all free. :y

Been on sale in Morrisons etc. round here for a week or two. Been very quiet round here this year though, heard the odd one or two but not half as many as in previous years. Is it due to the credit crunch?
