Just going to the local one this morning. The trees are all still covered in frost here and very pretty. Then home to cook Sunday lunch. A nice slow cooked lamb shoulder. It’s great that all of you are enjoying November there. I do have friends and family who love this time of year. My favourite aspects were the seasonal veg and the autumn colours. For me personally though it was the month when SAD used to really kick in. So happy I never have to deal with that again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just got back from the village fireworks, a wonderful night, some cider a burger and a chat with neighbours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In our neighbourhood it was a whole month of back garden fireworks often at 7-8pm when we were trying to get our daughter to go to sleep.

I also said why I had a particular problem with November. By comparison the fireworks were a minor irritant tbh. You must live in a very special place because everyone I know in the UK has neighbourhood fireworks that started a couple of weeks before 5 November and extended two weeks after. Not every single evening, but many of them. Also random displays at any time of the year I assumed for birthdays, anniversaries, Bastille Day or any bloody excuse.

Well I do consider it is a pretty special place but having said that nowhere round here seems to have fireworks all times of the year, it' just not something we see or hear. I must admit I havent spoken to everyone I know about it though lol Edited November 5, 2017 by bristolman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must admit I havent spoken to everyone I know about it though lol I just read friends facebook feeds. Over 160,000 people signed a petition last year to end back garden displays so clearly is a major issue for many and doubtless an irritant for many more. When I was a kid people had fireworks on 5 November only so not really an issue. You could only buy fireworks then for the lead up to 5 November, now there are specialist shops selling them year round. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/fireworks-petition-ban-firing-back-gardens-parliament-uk-a7991266.html Glad we don’t get it here anyway.

As long as they are used safely they're not so bad I suppose. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/11/05/children-hurt-fireworks-fired-crowd-organised-display/ I never got excited about them and they scare the bejaysus out of animals.

A shame as a great community get together at least when I was a kid. We had a community one in Central London. Good value as well. Lets not ban things as there will be little left at one stage.

Fireworks have been dying out over the years, the prices are ridiculous £70 for 4 large rockets....dont hear them as much these days to be honest, just at organised displays, people aint spending that money on a few fireworks.
