[QUOTE="rolfw, post: 303006, member: 175057"] I have no objection to fireworks when limited to two or three nights a year, but in this area it has become the fashion to use them on birthdays, Christenings, pay days, the end of Coronation Street, making a cup of tea, etc, etc. The only thing that came of the restrictions on sale a few years back, is that the fireworks seem to have got much bigger, like Topper says, not so much fireworks as munitions. Now this is fine if restricted to say three or four occasions per year, but I hear them most weekends in the Winter, this must be very annoying for some pet owners, I know it is for me and I don't have any pets. The most aggravating fireworks are the aerial bombs, the decibel level on these when set off in built up areas is huge and the noise produced goes way beyond the human hearing range. Again, these are great when we receive a limited predicted exposure to them and are part of a controlled firework party, but the random use of them in the alley behind our house is not much fun for the adjacent neighbours.
