hate them. But at least they finish at a reasnoable hour, or at least should do. When must they stop? Is it 10pm?

I live about 1/4 mile away from where B'ham City Council hold many concerts, bonfires and celebrations of lots of Religious festivals, namely Cannon Hill Park

All of these end with massive fireworks displays and tbh if you're there some of them are spectacular.

But if I stay at home, all I get is the Boom, Boom, Boom of the music bass followed by what seem like an hour of explosions.

What can I say, I hate the noise :( but it's great watching the free displays :)

Not this year.

Normally we have fireworks for a solid fortnight from a bit before Diwali to a bit after Guy Fawkes.

This year has been very quiet. My newsagent says he's only made one big sale, and the regional rep says he's never known a Diwali as bad as this one for firework sales.

How the fck am I suppose to enjoy Attenbourough with that racket going on?
Report Ashley_Young • November 5, 2010 9:17 PM GMT
This year and last year both relatively quiet... I think people have wised up instead of paying 100 odd pounds on shiit home fireworks, go to a display.

We had a burst just after 11 last night. Lasted about 5 minutes. Came from a house diagonally opposite mine, no kids.
