Completely underwhelmed by London's fireworks?

Yes, if your expectations were high. If not, then no.

VladmirsPoutine · 01/01/2022 00:26

I know! It's almost as though we're knee deep in some sort of global pandemic or something!

AllThingsServeTheBeam · 01/01/2022 00:27

They're a complete and utter waste of money every bloody year.

TooWicked · 01/01/2022 00:29

I thought they were ok.

I don’t think many people would have had much of a stomach for more money being spent this year, and there was no money from ticket sales this year to put towards them.

I think they are a complete waste of money.
I also think sadiq Khan might of stretched the truth today when he said they will be the best the world has seen 🤔

I don't know, we were all wtf. Someone had clearly been at the cool aid!
It might have just been the BBC coverage though.

They were awful! I was expecting last years level, they were fantastic.

MargaretThursday · 01/01/2022 00:35

We've had some fantastic ones on our estate. Better than most years.

SallyWD · 01/01/2022 00:35

Blimey I must be easily pleased because I thought they were bloody epic!

Icantthinkofausername123 · 01/01/2022 00:37

We have watched them the last couple of years on tv and these were the worst we have seen.

SudokuRules · 01/01/2022 00:43

Cutting to the choir was annoying!

Darbs76 · 01/01/2022 00:46

I thought they were great

LosingTheWill2 · 01/01/2022 00:49

I think it was the choir that ruined it for me

LolaButt · 01/01/2022 00:50

Hopefully next year they will be back to normal, with the crowds of people having a good time living life!

daisyjgrey · 01/01/2022 00:52

Has a firework display ever been anything other than underwhelming? Especially on a tv?

Theballoonsinthesky · 01/01/2022 00:54

Yep it was the choir that spoilt it. Last year was fantastic and a surprise so they were better. I think it was all a bit theatrical this year and not in a good way

BobMortimersPetOwl · 01/01/2022 00:54

The choir parts were utterly crap. Baffled by how little was made of the queen's diamond jubilee.

Itiswhatitis21 · 01/01/2022 00:56

Oh i thought they were brilliant Blush

Last years were better though
