Fireworks.-. none at our newsagents. Have the rules changed, where can I buy them?

Only want a few, and some sparklers for ds. Every other year the local paper-shop has sold them, but none this year, nor our local small sainsbugs

Have I missed something. Do we have to go somewhere special now?

Apparently Asda have them - I'm off there this afternoon.

The local supermarkets/D.I.Y. places all have them.

Was going to start a thread about this earlier Easy so i will keep an eye out here.

I have never bought fireworks before and we are going to DB's house for a bit of a party as it's DN (nephew's) birthday.

I wouldn't know one end of a firework from another - how do i know if they are any good?

Spring chicken, buy Standard Fireworks, in a mixed box. Standard have always been an OK brand, and the mixed box saves you having to decide

You might want to buy a few rockets too, and I Love rainbow coloured sparklers.

I've just sent dh out on a mission.

Now must get back to work

Thanks Easy - great help! !

Can't believe i am getting excited about fireworls night but it's DD's first - she probably wont take the blindest bit of notice of them though.

DH is back!
The big newsagent on the high street had some, so he got a box of Standard ones, + 5 rockets.

Apparently Tesco's sold out. We wouldn't go there ever since I had an argument with the manager tho'.
