sam1984 Â Â 10 #133 Posted October 10, 2006 I know a lot of people usually set them off when celebrating the Hindu festival Divali and thats in October some time I think soo maybe its for that? Â Saying that though there are already loads on sale in the shops so its probably kids anyway! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Angiej   10 #137 Posted October 10, 2006 Maybe if you lived on the Manor and have an 8 month old baby upstairs trying to sleep you would understand why they are annoying! Especially as round here they sound like bombs and go on every night all night for 3 months of every year!.   Ive got a 2 yr old and a 4 month old baby and my god they drive me mad, both of mine have been woke up by them. I dont mind on bonfire night as its one night but the idiots that set them off all the time Saw a gang of kids the otherday doing some about 6pm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Rich   12 #138 Posted October 10, 2006 I remember one night about 2 years ago I was sat in the Lounge trying to watch a film on TV, and all I could hear was the BANG BANG BANG of fireworks! In the end I got so fed up I went on Faxyourmp.com and sent a message to Helen Jackson (Then Labour MP for Hillsborough) to complain, got a big massive 8 page document back all about how they were changing the laws surrounding the sale and use of fireworks.

upinwath   10 #142 Posted October 11, 2006 Why do peeps bover to get ryhled about fireworks.   http://www.nsca.org.uk/pages/environment_facts/firework_effects.cfm Noise Fireworks can frighten people and animals. In particular children and the elderly can be intimidated and scared by firework noise. Farm animals have been scared to death, literally, and startled animals have been injured, killed and caused accidents when bolting. Disturbing domestic pets can also be dangerous as panicked pets can be vicious and destructive.  Average 1000 people a year injured Wonder how much that costs the NHS http://www.dti.gov.uk/files/file30136.pdf .............2005 2004 2003 Year Total 990 1160 1136  http://www.biba.org.uk/consumer/consumernotes/archive/1.html BIBA urges home insurance health-check before bonfires lit With 1000 people destined to be injured and thousands of pounds worth of property damage just waiting to happen during this year's bonfire night celebrations, the British Insurance Brokers' Association (BIBA) is warning homeowners to double check their insurance cover before lighting the bonfire or setting off any fireworks to avoid any excessive financial heat.  So we have a load of damage, dead animalsand about 1000 human injuries a year as well as the noise and so on.  Any other questions munky ?
