Arseholes setting off fireworks in the street

[EmmaAgain22]

Happy fucking new year, absolute barstewards

it's like a fucking raid.

Wondering what thread this was meant to be on.

What are you on about?

NDN is so drunk he can't even walk straight and yet he's setting off fireworks in the garden. It's so bloody dangerous. One has just come pelting into my garden and exploded near the house, it's so lucky there wasn't a fire.

Yanbu. Really dangerous to be throwing fireworks on the street. It doesn’t matter what you think of the noise that’s pretty stupid and makes you an arse.

Was that to me saying my neighbours are sociable?

I hadn't read other people's threads yet about the extent of how bad it gets- just replied tongue in cheek to OP. Just a couple of low noise fireworks And my neighbours tend to like an excuse to gather outside for a chat is all I meant. I dont like a big fuss or anything huge. And would always get low noise for pets and other kids and check with neighbours.

I wasn't meaning to offend.

Fireworks at illegal in Ireland, apart from sanctioned displays, they still manage to get them and set them off 😏
Happy new year all!

Once a year! What rock have you been sleeping under? They have been going off from October just alot more tonight!!!

I used to absolutely love fireworks as a kid, but now there's so many absolute utter dickheads and utter wankers just buying them from the shops and letting them off in the streets, that I think they should be banned for sale to the public. I have thought this for some years now.

Yes to big organised displays for special events - New Year's Eve, Coronation, Jubilee, England Womens team winning a big footie tournament, or if England mens team ever win one!!! (don't laugh.)

But none available to the public. Like @KnobbyKnobson I am blessed with living in the sticks, not quite up north, but close (on the border of the north,) and we have very little fireworks. There's a swanky posh hotel some three quarters of a mile from me by road where people have weddings, and we get fireworks going off there 3 or 4 times during the summer, but they always warn people on the facebook page so they can put their pets away.

My little village (a mile from the next village so quite secluded and rural,) had NONE last night. NONE. When I lived in a big midlands town (some 10 years ago,) it was like a war zone from 11pm-ish to about 1.30am. My 2 DC said it was like that for them last night - they live in the big town I used to live in. Makes me wonder how people can afford fireworks in the current climate, with the cost of living crisis.

Also agree with the posters saying it is NOT just new years eve and bonfire night. Around the time of bonfire night, the fireworks (for many,) start around 25th October, and go every night til around the 15th November. I don't experience this now fortunately.

@EmmaAgain22 YANBU.

I've seen kids doing this. Who on earth are their parents I wonder?

Cheer up, it’s New Year!

And they are off again where I am!

Kids were stuck at their dad's last year as there were twats launching fireworks horizontally down the street and it wasn't safe to go outside. Nor was it safe to arrive home as fireworks also being lit in the street here. (Bloody great big multi shot ones too)

Here we get fireworks set off in the street, carparks, off the balconies of the local flats, right next to the tower block so people have fireworks going off a couple of feet from their balconies/windows and some dipstick launched them 10 foot away from my flat so they exploded and hit the windows.

We try not to go out after dark in November for a couple of weeks every year.

Oh look! Another one who supports bang bangs over vunerable pets, 'unsociable' people and those with PTSD and the like.

God, some people are so fucking dim its scary. This poster is probably one of the parents of the twats doing this sort of crap.

Sounds like here

Apparently these guys had been stashing them in a litter bin, letting them off in smaller roads, then at nearer midnight came here.

Police seemed to know who they are and said to watch out for it in the next few nights as they have probably "acquired" a lot of fireworks.

now I remember, one block of flats had someone ring the buzzers to get someone to open the door and chucked a lit one into the common hallway, a few years back.

Anyone defending this kind of thing really shouldn’t be living in a civilised society.

I agree this is dickish behaviour but suggesting that it's only in London (and indeed implying it's all of London) is a bit ridiculous

They were so loud here that they woke my 3yo up so I definitely wasn't happy about that. It's definitely inconsiderate. I'd never dream of letting off fireworks in a residential area at that time of night but there are obviously a lot of people who don't see a problem with it.

We were woken up at 1am - my poor dogs were in a right state. FIreworks need to be banned or low noise only.

I don't think it is, but the nice bits of London are for billionaires

I just need to get out of this particular place and in my case, that means leaving London.

I was quite ranty seeing sideways fireworks coming at us last night. Lucky I'm on the fourth floor but a couple of kids on my floor were screaming from the noise. There's fireworks, sure, I have no issue, I was getting ready to stand on the balcony to see. I didn't expect a sideways wall of noise and smoke. Neither did the bus drivers, the cars were able to pull to the side but the buses had it tougher to keep away from the line of fire.

Thankfully where I live no one is that much of an arsehole. Someone did let some off at 23:20 though.

The arsehole opposite me decided to let a load off in his front garden at midnight. We live on a small, quiet housing estate. Woke my autistic DC who's terrified of them and had been scared to go to bed but I assured her no one normally sets them off near us She didn't settle the rest of the night. Utterly selfish behaviour.
I think they should be banned apart from organised displays.

Love the fireworks at The Bells and at Bon Fire Night.

Happy New Year 🔥🔥🔥
