I ABSOLUTELY love them. Don't set them off myself, as I am too clumsy for that, plus I would be fending off small "helpers", but I really love them, and feel sad tht a few bad people ruin the fun for everyone else.

I saw a sign at the local countdown yesterday saying they have decided not to sell them as they are concerned for peoples safety. Was in conjunction with fire safety.
There is a big display just out of Hamilton tonite, probably in a few years we will go, DD a bit too young at the nmoment...hoping she will sleep ok through the noise!

Good on your local supermarket aussiegirl - I hate them too. Our dog starts barking and for a smallish dog he has a BIG voice - the down side of owning a hound type dog!!

We haven't been in this house for Guy Fawkes yet as we moved the end of November last year but our old place was bad - the student part of Kelburn so we had months of random mid-night fireworks. Hopefully here will be better.

I sa ban them too - they are pretty pathetic compared to what they used to sell so going to a propper display is way better.

I read in the newspaper today that all progressive supermarkets (foodtown,woolworth and countdown) won't be selling fireworks due to safety concerns. I am not normally a fan of progressive but I think good on them for putting public safety ahead of profits

I love them, but hate setting them off myself.

This year up here there is a blanket ban on them and they can only be let of on the 5th and only that date. If you let them off outside of that date and you will have an MP come visiting you and if you are military you will be charged and in the cells for the night.
