I'm impressed!! Coming up to 11:00pm on the 5th of November and not a bang, pop, or whistle to be heard.

Looks like the firework ban legislation has been heeded by the masses.

Jeez, maybe the 'ban it all' culture has something going for it after all.

What's it like round your way?

Crap, they've been going off all night and last night

At least they seem to have stopped for the time being now.....

....but they will probably start up again around midnight

Lum

Been going off all night here.
And every time one flashes, the car in front brakes for the camera. Grr.

I moved to the countryside - cheap insurance - peace and quiet and no fireworks.


Load of noisy feckin subarus though for some strange reason.

davegtt

nothing here either, we are overlooking the whole town and can see thousands of houses yet no more fireworks not that the dog cares anyhow, they stopped quite a while ago actually. probably around 10pm the last 1's I heard.

pslewis

All quiet here too!!

Is that UB thanking Blair for a superb piece of legislation??

Lets hear it for Blair, UB? - come on, lets see if you have ***** or not!

Obviously resident in the stockbrokor belt. Returned home at 5.30 to be greeted by endless bangs and falshes as moronic parents entertained the 5 year olds. Presently continuing as the moronic 25 year olds entertain their parents.

Yep, it all went quiet here around 11.45, and about 5 minutes ago all kicked off again

Feels like im in Parr

i'm watching these posts about my area!

you think i can't see you monkey boy!

*Sonic*

LOL, just mention Parr and you arrive

I thought it had to be said 3 times in succession'

I have to say, it has been remarkably quiet around here in the run-up to Nov 5th, and by midnight, there are NO bangs to be heard......

Deffo seems an improvement. Stunned, as didn't think it would make much difference!!

CrisPDuk

There was a bang round here about ten minutes ago, but I think that was just a local blowing away a chav, so that doesn't count

ajm

No difference here, fireworks mostly stopped before 22:00 as they did last year because, being a conservative ward, people have been brought up to show more respect to each other!

Leslie

Can't really complain about them being let off on Nov 5th. That the traditional part. Its the surrounding weeks that are annoying.

Drove into the village last night and it was like entering the Tet offensive. Smoke everywhere, explosions, and running women and children.

Patt@firstime

Agree. I live in the sticks so didn't hear any all night

Jap2Scrap

It was like Baghdad here in Pontefract last night

and there was still the odd one at 2 in the morning.

Abdabz

They never seem to go off in the daylight do they??? All quiet here now - its daylight and rainy and windy here though...

I almost hit another car when I was parking last night. A REALLY loud firework went off and made me jump.

scoobypreza

They were still at it at 1.30am here.
I wouldn't mind but our baby was quite upset by it

Hope they've used them all now and that we'll have a better night tonight.

We've got a Border Collie and there super senstive to noise, last night the dog wonders in the bathroom while I'm having a bath. Then the neighbours let a fecking bomb off result the dog jumps in the bath, which I find Very Funny. BUT then they let another off the dog bolts resulting in one very wet house, NOT SO FUNNY .

Loads going off last night. Unfortunatley caused a dog to bolt into the road in front of me, tried to swerve & stop in time, but sickening thud that followed meant I hadn't. Get out of car to see poor bugger lying in road, following cars all slow and pull round the dog except some bint in a Fiesta who manages to drive over the dog. Really pissed off now as I had been involved in a hit & run 30 mins earlier & had taken the wifes car to work 'for a change'. Remember, remember the fifth of November, not a problem.

unclebuck

Call the Police. It's now against the law to do this.

It seems to be more tonight than last !

colex

Probably the noisiest year yet – although at least the surrounding weeks have shrunk a bit to be mostly surrounding days now. What pisses me off is that everybody seems to have the same ones, those that just go weeeeeee and those that just go BANG. After 2˝ hours I starting to think that the ‘show’ just up the road must be running out by now – surely!



Don’t know what time they finished last night but they were still going at 11 when I fell asleep

Daryl

Any tw*ts on here who let off fireworks on any night other than 5th November fancy a scrap? I'm really up for it at the moment

Clarebabes

We've just been into town to watch the fireworks, had a few beers, got tipsy, ate Chinese....

First one that went off set every car alarm off in a 2 mile radius! Wicked!

unclebuck

Some f**king moron just released a salvo that looked and sounded like the start of the siege of St Petersburg. There's just no need for it.

I'm in the mood now too.



So I just went and shouted from the darkness for them to "shut the f**k up you f**kin morons" and after a bit of female chav return shouting it's suddenly stopped.

I feel much better now.

<either that or they're on their way round to 'sort me out' > lol
