Fireworks!

[StepAwayFromCake]

Really? It's after 10pm!

How bloody selfish and antisocial.

They tend to work better when it's dark, dear. 😉

Round my way, fireworks during the day mean the drugs have arrived 😁
It's before 11pm, no dramas.

Then maybe a summer night I s not the best time to choose to have fireworks.

I think they should only be allowed for organised public displays.

Maybe they are having a wedding reception somewhere nearby.

There is a country house hotel about quarter of a mile from us. They have fireworks most summer weekends (I guess for weddings). We're at the bottom of a valley, the noise echoes like anything. I am in long standing discussion with the council noise people.,

Are you in West Sussex?

I see your random weekend fireworks and raise you the Edinburgh Military Tattoo!

Oh bless you!!!

If you live near me, apologies. It was DH popping some of that packaging that's like big bubble wrap before he put it in the wheelie bin. It did sound like fireworks though.

You're not in Edinburgh are you?
If so they'll go on for the next three weeks.
Every night.

It's happening here too.

Ooh I I can hear them too, I'm in yorkshire. Is there something happening tonight?

Think you must live locally to me op

We have them too - Surrey?

It's apparently national underwear day in America...but it's probably not for that

Ooh yes Surrey/sussex....fireworks were actually in Surrey though

I'll join you in bemoaning the tattoo ArtyKitty!!! They're only a few hundred yards from my house, it's so bloody loud.

Every night, and twice at weekend, for 3+ weeks. I so love the festival!

We keep getting them in the day here. Local rumor mill has decided this is the local drug dealers informing customers of new stock
Presumably mobile phones don't work around that area.....

Always thought fireworks a waste of cash anyway so letting them off in the day seems batshit to me.

You know, I actually quite like it. I used to live on the Royal Mile and even then, when the windows shook, I enjoyed feeling part of the city.

Definitely West Sussex, (near EG??). Lots of people whining about it on FB earlier.

Don't move to Edinburgh then.

We have fireworks every year for every night for pretty much the whole of August and twice on Saturday nights and then the fireworks for the end of the Festival. I love it.

Ah I see there are a few other Edinburghers! I lived in Grindlay Street when I first moved here- that was noisy. Still pretty noisy where I am now.

They were doing them at midnight round near me the other day. Thought that was taking the piss tbh

I knew this thread was going to be full of Edinburghers
