Fireworks being let off

[AlwayAnxious]

People in the distance letting off fireworks, by the sounds of it, not just one person either

Seems to be after the Government alert, people have gone crazy and acting like children ?
Surely they arent just being defiant?

We have had multiple wildfires and house fires over the last few weeks

Terrible

Our local event cancelled and rightly so.

I thought I heard a small number of fireworks half an hour ago. Some people are selfish idiots.

Fireworks here too but I can't blame the alert because we had them last night as well.

They’ll be muttering to each other about how they ignored social distancing too as they light the fireworks. But it’s fine cause we’re all dead anyway…vaccines innit

This is why the message was stupid.

It gave idiotic people ideas. They want to ‘stick it to the man’.

I agree it's irresponsible.

I think it's people celebrating exam success.

Ooh maybe. I hadnt thought of that.
But even so, its crazy they would do this right now

Oh good god it’s Covid again.

I think it’s ridiculous that people still insist on letting balloons and Chinese lanterns go/ set off fireworks/ have bonfires and bbqs at the moment. It’s so irresponsible

What are you talking about?

I bet Boris is letting off fireworks!

Some idiots set a fire in the tiniest clearing in the woods near us a few days ago. We smelled smoke so investigated and found what appeared to be a fire pit of smouldering embers. The fire brigade had to bring buckets from the engine to put it out.

Although I think the alert in the form it was broadcast was ill advised, and in the end I disabled alerts on my phone because I was still getting them after 10pm, the general message is correct.

There’s a real danger of loss of property, or even loss of life. Anyone minimising this is a fool.

I saw Janet at number 5 go on TWO walks today

Keith had guests over who were NOT in his bubble!!!!

WE’RE IN A PANDEMIC DONT YOU KNOW?!

You can’t really be this ignorant about the risk of fire, surely? This kind of restriction is perfectly normal in, for example, Arizona, and as we’re as dry as a tinderbox here too - from Yorkshire down at least - the restrictions are needed here too.

What we didn’t need is a phone alert that went off many times over several hours, not least because it makes thickos decide to stick it to the man.

@DistantEarlyWarning no I’m not, I’m obviously not doing anything against advice, I don’t know why you’ve interpreted my post that way, but it is going to get very tedious very fast with people constantly posting about it all like this. It’s like they think they’ll be fast tracked through the pearly gates or something.

Being worried about public safety - and stupid people possibly setting fire to my house - is virtue signalling?

Okay.

@DistantEarlyWarning you’re not the OP?

wev Had fireworks round us for weeks
