AIBU to think it's better when 5th Nov. falls on a Fri./Sat./Sun. so that the dickhead pet terrifying firework displays happen only over one weekend rather than two as tends to happen when 5th Nov. is mid-week?

I want to know why people wait until 10pm and later to set them off??

I've just come up to bed after having to force the dog out for a pee. And it sounds like the bloody blitz now.

It's no darker now than it was 4 bastard hours ago so why can't they let them off at a less antisocial time?

I just don’t understand why they make the bangs so loud now, it honestly sounds like a mortar being fired (yes, I’ve heard one).

We had the huge town one, then about 4 houses nearby taking it in turns, 2 hours solid of the dog going nuts.

You're optimistic if you think they won't still be letting off fireworks next week and the week after and so on until January.

It’s never confined to just 2/3 days where we are (a london Borough) it seems to be weeks and weeks not just bonfire night .I think due to Diwali as well and any other celebrations and as fireworks are available I think people get them for birthdays etc too it’s never ending!
