FIREWORKS common sense in my area

[GabbyLoggon]

Previous years...boom bang, boom. for 3 weeks before and two weeks after Nove 5th.

THIS YEAR...hardly anything so far.. Have things changed with you this year?

Yes, we heard almost nothing until last night. For a while I was thinking I had got the date wrong .

Retailers have really cracked down on it these days haven't they?

Same here. Wonder why?

I wonder if it's because Diwali has fallen over Nov 5th this year rather than a week or so earlier? Also with the 5th being on a Friday most displays are prob last night and tonight, rather than spreading over 2 weekends when it falls midweek, iyswim.
