Fireworks

Ain't Guy Fawkes night special? Not even the light rain could stop the fireworks being lit! Of course our family didn't set any fireworks off but we watched from our kitchen, and drove over to outside the Trusts Stadium as they set off their really really huge fireworks.

When we got home, we kept watching fireworks through the kitchen window when we saw these teens with little children walking around the middle of the road outside, and setting fireworks off aiming them at and down the road. They even set off those spinning magic sings in the middle of the road! Cars had to swerve to miss them with one of them driving right over it. They could've either endangered the lives of those driving by or those living in houses nearby, so I took the liberty to ring the police. However because they weren't 'throwing fireworks across the road or under a car' it didn't sound as though they considered it a priority or even an offence. So we kept a look out for these guys who continued to set fireworks off in the middle of the road, so my brother rang the police again who finally said they would try send someone over to have a look. Ten minutes later when the road had cleared and the guys were nowhere to be seen, a police car drove by.

Apart from that though, the fireworks at the Trusts Stadium was great, and there was a great atmosphere!

We should be thankful the Labour government is unlikely to ban fireworks from being sold, like it has been in some parts in Australia where only public fireworks displays are allowed. Just because a few people misuse fireworks and some don't keep their animals inside doesn't mean the rest of the population who want to enjoy fireworks should suffer
