to think 11.45pm is a bit late for fireworks?

[Xochiquetzal]

I mean to just start setting them off in your garden? especially if you are going to have the annoying loud whistling one? its not even bonfire night ffs and the bastards woke poor DD up :(

I love fireworks and have been posting pro-firework down with miserable people posts all week (I do very Nov.)

However, given next door decided 2-2.30 am was a good time for fire works yesterday YANBU.

Next time he wants a lift or to borrow the phone I might be less than cooperative. My DDs are older and we'd have happily watched their FW at 11.45, but 2am was a bit much.

Fireworks: the law
Not what you're looking for? ?

You can’t buy or use ‘adult’ fireworks if you’re under 18, and it’s against the law for anyone to set off fireworks between 11pm and 7am, except on certain occasions.

Adult fireworks are category 2 and 3 fireworks - they don’t include things like sparklers and party poppers.

The law says you must not set off or throw fireworks (including sparklers) in the street or other public places.

You must not set off fireworks between 11pm and 7am. The exceptions are:
Bonfire Night, when the cut off is midnight
New Year’s Eve, Diwali and Chinese New Year, when the cut off is 1am

You're not allowed to sound a car horn after 11pm, I think, because it's antisocial. Think fireworks probably comes under the remit of antisocial. Can you call 101 and ask someone to go and remind them of that fact?

Antisocial feckers.

You can't win when it comes to fireworks. Complain = miserable anti-social grump.

Fwiw, I hate fireworks. They frighten children, elderly people, vulnerable people and animals. If it was one or two nights a year at an organised display, fair enough. It isn't though. Huge fireworks are still going off tonight, big enough to rattle windows. Why?

There wasn't any point calling 101, by the time they got here the fireworks would of finished anyway.

I usually love fireworks, and am lucky enough to have a dog who couldn't care less about them (I suspect he's too stupid to know the loud bangs are meant to scare him) it's just late at night on a Sunday when people have work/school in the morning annoyed me.

Yes it's bloody selfish. Some people have no sense.

I actually have a soft spot for, the now young men, next door. I'm delighted they found a bit of spare cash for Fireworks, the older one especially is usually flat broke.

Their parents are totally hopeless and DH and I have helped them with various things over the years.

I assume they thought everone would sleep through their fireworks.
