I know I'm being a killjoy, but was walking home last night and a group of yoofs let off a couple of rockets really close to the path where DS and I were. We got quite a fright as it was dark and we couldn't see anybody about (until the rockets lit up the night sky! )
This means another couple of weeks of having to keep our two cats in for the night before it starts to get dark (with them meowing at the door to get out!), the constant loud banging / explosions that wake DS up after bedtime. I don't object around the 5th November, but it's ages before then!!
AIBU to wish the supermarkets, etc. didn't sell fireworks until just before bonfire night, if at all? What's wrong with organised displays?
I'm a bit worried about taking DS out after dark now (difficult not to with the nights drawing in), in case he gets injured by a stray one.
I appreciate people with older / no children still want to enjoy themselves with fireworks, but IMO they are way too dangerous, especially when teenagers, etc seem to be able to get hold of them so easily and let them off willy nilly.
AIBU?

To wish that they wouldn't start selling fireworks quite so early?
