I hate it when it gets closer to November the 5th. I wouldn't mind if it was like in Germany where they only sell Fireworks on the day that the let them off. But no, here in England they sell them about 2 weeks before so that the idiots can buy them.
To me, a ban on the retail sale of fireworks would be ideal. I think for what you pay, what you get is utter rubbish. Public displays are much better organised, sometimes free and people's safety is taken care of.
Each year there are news stories about people who have burnt their faces or hands, stories of some sick individual who has put a banger through an old ladies letter box or blowing up phone boxes with them.
I'm not saying outlaw sparklers, cos kids love the things - I used to love them when I was younger, but fireworks are just plane dangerous in the wrong hands and it seems that we're just too lax here on who buys them.
Also, who can you protect your pets for 2 weeks while people are just letting them off everywhere?!

Also, I probably hear more fireworks before the 5th than on the 5th! It's anti social & annoying!

banning them wouldn't stop people from finding ways to acquire them.
people just need to be more responsible, know the dangers of fireworks etc.

Yes ban them from being sold to anyone other than a licenced person, who can use them only for official licenced displays. As for `other` people being able to get their hands on them:- There must be very severe fines/imprisonment for law breakers. And anyone from whom they get the illegal fireworks.

Yes, ban them entirely. Professional public displays only. You only get 2 weeks before Nov 5th? Lucky you, they're on sale all year here. :/

Should definitely be banned for sale to the public. They should only be allowed at properly organised displays.

I think they should definitely be banned from being sold to the public. I really think you should need a licence to let of fireworks these days.

yes they should be baned from public sale, and i know exactly what you mean about pets my cats hate going out at the min, also it is annoying when they go off at all times at night especially when people are trying to get their little ones to bed, my little girl wouldn't go to sleep the other night because there where bangers going off.

With you all the way...they are a nuisance - I'd be happy if they were outlawed totally, but that is unreasonable, so I would limit them to public displays only.
