They started here at about 2pm (yes, really!) and haven't stopped since. My cats are hiding and won't eat. I have a thumping headache from the noise and just want some quiet for a bit. They started at the same time yesterday and didn't stop until 11pm ISH.

It’s the 5th November so unlikely. Next week it will be back to normal. Personally I love these rituals that mark the change in seasons, it gets easy to get on the work treadmill and not look up. Fireworks are a good reason to look up.

I’m always torn with fireworks. I like watching them and understand the excitement for kids, but my cats are all freaked out and my young dc is struggling to fall asleep.

Selfish fuckers with more money than sense.

Give it a fucking rest now.

Started at 1:30 here (today, I mean it started in September!) and it's absolutely horrendous. Professional grade shows in little gardens. I don't understand why this is legal.

There's now really loud screamy ones going off and they keep making me jump a mile. Totally over it now!

They’ve been going off since about 6.30 pm….our dog is a bit deaf so not really bothered by them

We've had them non stop for weeks here.

It's been really bad since Halloween. They were going off for 10 mins Sunday morning at 10am.

They should be banned for public sale. Or at least only available from actual fireworks stores. Not online or in supermarkets

I'm all for controlled public displays
