Surely it isn't Brexit celebrations?

Just heard one, South London. Fuck them.

Impatientwino · 31/01/2020 23:11

Wish you were right newlife!

ALongHardWinter · 31/01/2020 23:12

Same here.

JellyfishandShells · 31/01/2020 23:12

Weirdly less fireworks than we normally get on a weekend ( SWLondon) There were loads on Tuesday. Soggy evening, though .

Cuddling57 · 31/01/2020 23:13

Yep here too. Started at 11pm

Reginabambina · 31/01/2020 23:13

None here thankfully, I don’t understand why the domestic use of explosives is so widely accepted here. They were banned for private use for safety reasons (fire risk) where I come from so I really struggle to watch people merrily setting off full on mini rockets in their tinee tiny British gardens. Madness.

Fireworks in Glasgow, looks like the west end so I'm assuming Glasgow uni students. Tempted to report the fuckers for noise.

midsomermurderess · 31/01/2020 23:15

Nothing here, but then I am in Scotland. Not much celebrating here I'd imagine.

CountFosco · 31/01/2020 23:16

God we've got them here. Heavy leave region, just turned blue, expected to be the worse affected by Brexit. Turkeys the lot of them.

Nicknacky · 31/01/2020 23:17

Who the duck would buy fireworks for this?! And yep, they were going off here in Scotland too.

tinnitusagain · 31/01/2020 23:17

I'd just like to make my first post as a non-EU Citizen to say fuck brexit and all it stands for.

Peterperfect · 31/01/2020 23:19

Same here but I didn’t twig why till
I saw this thread. I can’t think of one reason to celebrate bloody Brexit. It’s going to be a shitshow for so
many people

drivingtofrance · 31/01/2020 23:19

Yup. Just headed to bed after watching a TV show about living in Lanzarote and heard the fireworks going off.

My local Facebook is full of morons waving Union Flags and grinning.

Arseholes. Angry

corlan · 31/01/2020 23:21

Few here as well (London). Fuck you, you inconsiderate bastards.

EL8888 · 31/01/2020 23:22

Same here. Why do l live in Essex?! They can’t even tell the time as it started at 11:05pm. Says it all really

123rd · 31/01/2020 23:22

Snap. Stupid twats

Walkerbean16 · 31/01/2020 23:23

Yep same here. My pets are going mental. If the baby wakes up im going to hunt them down Angry

DonnatellaLyman · 31/01/2020 23:26

Just had some, north London, so it must be one of about 5 leavers locally.

Inmyownlittlecorner · 31/01/2020 23:26

There were a few here (central London) but they were mercifully short.

FleetwoodMacMummy · 31/01/2020 23:27

Yep it was happening here :(

incognitomum · 31/01/2020 23:28

Obviously no animal lovers amongst them

And here, in remainer land, so didn't think it was that. It probably was. Cunts

MidnightBlue28 · 31/01/2020 23:34

Happening here... just scraped the cat off the ceiling

ThunderboltandLightning · 31/01/2020 23:37

Wankers.

Will now be up half the night with the dog

thatmustbenigelwiththebrie · 31/01/2020 23:50

Yes here too 😓 I went for a run in the Peak District this morning and saw a group of hikers with a giant Union Jack. Felt very sad.
