Re: FMB Fanclub

well i used to get fireworks for the back garden they were great but they are scarey!! im not happy around them at all and think they should be banned on public sale.theyve been letting them off for about 2 months round here cos of eid!! any excuse!.and my poor puppy doggy is terrified of them!! she goes and hides under the table shaking like a leaf..
the kids round here need to go to boot camp if you ask me ...........but thats just my opinion

Re: FMB Fanclub

Because I've hurt my foot and can't get out and about he thought he surprise me and organised to have our neighbours and their kids in last night, 10 of them in total and Les had a great time 'entertaining' them, we had games, competitions and a short karaoke session ffs (football songs of all things). Then they all went off with a goodie bag each. I had a great time pmsl.

Organised displays are by far the best way to see fireworks. i

I totally agree, but the reason they are in decline now is due to insurance costs, Health & safety etc.

When I was a lad, a few years ago, nearly every pub had a bonfire with fireworks, plus nearly every town had a council run one as well.
Now the only organised one I have seen is at a pub about 5 miles away.

Re: FMB Fanclub

Halloween was not too bad for us.... fortunately i was out at work till 7:30, so missed most of the kids knocking at the door.... my kids had a few of their friends round for a halloween get together.... so no wandering about in the dark for them I just got the resulting mess to clean up now.... silly string... and party poppers already cleared away.... washroom looks like some one has been murdered in there though.... fake blood all over the sink....floor... and well everything really lol

Re: FMB Fanclub

Going back a bit lol I remember some of the fireworks we had then jeeeeeeeeez it's a good job they were banned. What comes to mind mostly is the dreaded riprap that followed you everywhere, the penny banger, the Catherine wheel and the rockets that had no sense of direction.
There were accidents no doubt, but I think on the whole people respected fireworks and I don't ever remember them going off weeks before and weeks after the 5th.
Halloween was no where near as big as it is now, the Yanks have probably got something to do with that as it's big over there, as is everything if you believe them lol.
Christmas was in fact very much looked forward to by young and old, not the dread word it is today. Call me miserable if you like, but I do think things are not the same.

Re: FMB Fanclub

This appears to be the view of the vast majority of the public, certainly I don't know anyone who doesn't agree with it (although i get the feeling i will do soon)

The incident in Bolton shows precisely what madness this is, who needs gun crime when you can potentially kill someone with a 'firework'

Re: FMB Fanclub

yup i'm right with you on that one Sapphy.

ban the sale of fireworks to the public full stop..... i honestly do believe that even if you want a display for a private party... you should have to obtain a license first.
Organised displays are by far the best way to see fireworks. in my opinion anyway far safer and kinder to all our pet's. I'd love nothing more then to see public sales banned

Re: FMB Fanclub

I live a few miles away froma notorious housing area, we always dread Halloween cos the kids seem to head over in my direction.. bless 'em. Our local Tesco store banns selling eggs and flour to kids on Halloween, fair enough... but these "aliens" came round last night, walked into Tescos, stole the eggs and then walked back into the Tesco (just a small shop, housewives and kids work there) and egged the staff. Wonderful huh!
There is an alleyway up the top of my road, that this morning is cordened off, and a police car at the end, we saw an ambulance and police car there last night, apparently someone was attacked. Dont know anything more yet, but Halloween should be banned, there were so many gangs of kids around last night, something was bound to happen....

Re: FMB Fanclub

Morning all,

Personally I think the sale of fireworks should be banned now, and just have organised displays. Perhaps the fines and sentences for selling/buying/letting off fireworks should be more severe, although (and this is not meant to be a racist remark before anyone starts on me) it does seem that it the shops that are owned by 'foreigners' for want of a better word, are the worst culprits at selling them. As is the sale of Ciggs/Alcohol underage as well. / discuss....................

Re: FMB Fanclub

Morning,
Well OH said we only had 1 trick or treater, maybe thy have realised I can be more scarey than they can ever be pmsl.:witch:
More scarey is the fireworks that have to come I really hate them and as for my poor little dog well, can only call it heartbreaking.

Today maybe dry but chilly, correction Fiona says heavy rain lol

Speaking of fireworks they have just shown that industrial firework being let off in that corner shop. My God there really are some sick B******S on this earth and whats worse, bet it happens again. The next time maybe with a lot worse consequences as on one was hurt this time luckily.
