If you were letting off fireworks last night what was it for?

I’m assuming Halloween? But are fireworks a Halloween thing? I’m pregnant with my first baby so it’s been a while since I went to a kid’s Halloween party

Genuinely curious

It's Diwali.

It’s almost certainly for Diwali depending on where in the country you are. I work in a school and the whole place has been decorated, it looked lovely.

I can answer for the 14 year olds round here… for fun, and to be a bit of a dickheady teenager.

I heard some last night, possibly for Diwali 🪔 x

It's Diwali next Thursday, so some people might have got an early start on the weekend before. Like how people do fireworks the weekends before and after bonfire night if it falls midweek.

Assuming you're not near a wedding venue, it feels like firework season is mid October - mid November around my neck of the woods! Plus diwali (end of this month), Eid etc as they often have fireworks.

Or maybe maud from number 72 hit a big birthday?

They ought to be banned. It’s the most stressful week of the year for many pet owners. We have to get sedatives from the vet for two of our dogs.

We will be letting them off tonight for my daughter's birthday.

It coincides with a very local huge bonfire event so we won't be disturbing anyone.

They seemed to become a Halloween thing around Covid, I think everyone was desperate to lift their spirits.
