I know lyn some thicko's have. Been setting them off for weeks even during the day, they are losing their novelty I think

SB..its no longer like it was when we were kids...fireworks went off on nov the 5th only regardless of what day of the week it fell on..no sense of tradition nowadays..

Not that many going off round here, but we had most of the Saturday night. Most of the family went to a display at Wythall that we have been going to for a couple of years or so now, they have a fair a bonfire and a firework display, but I begged off this year as I'm getting a little too long in the tooth for fireworks now.

phil bonfire night when i was a kid was a massive event..spending weeks before collecting for the bonfire then doing penny for a guy..no buying our own fireworks back then..mom or dad would have the money off us and put some themselves and they would buy them from the paper shop in nursery road...half the road would gather in our large back garden bring some fireworks and mom would do baked spuds ect..happy days indeed where everyone would muck in and share..
