Looks Like Sainsburys Are Not Selling Fireworks This Year
No link as they seem to want to keep it low profile but it looks like Sainsburys have taken the decision not to sell fireworks this year. If you or someone you know are affected by the constant barrage of noise, mess and smoke that happens at this season (and when did Firework Night become Firework season?) then you might like to comment on their facebook page or website? Hopefully another step in the right direction.

Much as I would love to say something to spath, I realise it would be a complete waste of time so I won't waste my time and energy. This is just to let anyone know who might be interested in contacting Sainsburys. I wrote them an email to congratulate them for taking this stance, but unfortunatel

Great post by Woofgang. I'm not old, miserable, wanting to curtail people's fun etc... I love watching fireworks. It's when they are used increasingly irresponsibly and dangerously and in an antisocial manner, over a longer period of time, something needs to change.
Saw this in the local news this morning, "'at least' two fireworks were set off underneath the main runway approach"..."One of the fireworks exploded 'directly next to' the landing plane, which then aborted its landing".

This is a very busy city airport, which is the base for the local Air Ambulance and has flying lessons (so people with not much experience), it's near a very busy built up area, near housing, motorways and not far from the Trafford Centre/Sea Life Centre/Lego Land/Chill Factor and a large number of other businesses.

Woofy - Excellent. In my head I was composing something very similar to jourdain. But you said it all. We cant turn back the clocks. Times have changed. Society is different. Its a huge problem that needs sorting. I love to see people having fun, but not at the expense of other people's health and welfare. Regrettably, society has become very selfish.

Regardless... Compring something illegal to something that is legal is pointless.
You can't say.. Yeah controlled demonstrations are fun but putting them through old peoples letter box's isn't...
Well yeah you're not suppose to put them through letter boxes, blow them up in the street or misuse them. But people misuse everything, especially cars and their speed. So many deaths, so much damage from cars, they're not needed with push bikes, they only offer more speed.. they're not banned?
Think people need to realise that people will misuse everything it doesn't mean the vast majority can't use them for their correct purpose still.
The idiots will always make the most noise.
