Fireworks...

I am appalled that I can hear fireworks going off on Remembrance Sunday - you'd think people would have a bit of respect. But then, I suppose that a great many people take freedom for granted. In my opinion, fireworks should be restricted to public displays for a few nights a year, and only Gandalf should make them...

  1. Couldn't agree more!

    I recall a few years ago watching the solemn part of the British Legion Festival of Remembrance when the silence was disturbed by someone detonating a huge firework outside which shook the street, activating car alarms and bringing the neighbours out to see what had occurred. I do not consider a dramatic reconstruction of the opening minutes of the Battle of the Somme (which began with the explosion of sevral large mines), to be in particularly good taste.
    Why must people be so disrespectful?
