I don't know, it's now the 7th and it's raining and there are still fireworks going off. personally I think they should be band altogether, every year it's the same bloody thing, it's just not necessary there are organised events for Guy Fawkes, so why people need fireworks is beyond me.

This was obviously written by a person living in the UK (hence reference to the 5th), and the answer is because the UK yob culture is now stronger than it was a few decades ago.
Those who let off fireworks in areas where there are many houses clearly do not think of the appalling disturbance they cause to the elderly, those who are ill or convalescing at home, babies and domestic pets.
It's time that the sale of fireworks was confined to organisers of licensed displays only, and not sold to members of the general public. That way people could see fireworks if they wished, but no longer would ordinary householders have to put up with the possibility of a huge explosion at 2 AM (which is what happened near where I live last Saturday).
And to think we've got New Year 2007 and Chinese New Year on the horizon, too. :- (

Because for some it is the most inconvenient time considering that on the 5th of November not all the family might be available, For example, it was on a Sunday this year but I flew over to see my cousin on the Wednesday and set off fireworks on the Saturday because we had to fly back out on the Sunday.

They set them off before the 5th and after just to annoy those who don't wish to waste there hard earned money on a useless celebration of a failed attempt to blow up the houses of parliament. And we also have to put up with diwali the indian festivale, what next may I ask. Might just as well set light to £10.00 notes. And as for halloween whats that all about ( especially this TRICK OR TREAT)

I think anyone that sets off fireworks after the fourth of July might have a problem!
Foruth of July, New Years Eve, and a special salute ot the troops or a birthday, anniversary, celebration are the only times that it is acceptable to set off fire works
Anything else and that person may be a fire bug

Because some people can't go to a display (or sort out their own) actually on firework night so there are displays done around the approximate time to give everyone a chance to see some.

I am wondering, could the "day of the dead" have anything to do with it?
That is a happy celebration for Mexicans, as they are remembering their loved ones that have gone on to another world.
I don't know when Guy Fawlks Day is. The British would know about that. Maybe that is why.

For the same reason some people write on walls, because they are not supposed to. it is a sort of thrill, just hope they get caught
