Whatever happened to bonfire night?

had to be the quietest November the 5th. yet!  About eight rockets went up at about half past six, and that was it!  They're probably saving them for January 1st.  Oh well ...

Blimey Fred you should have been here you could hardly see for bonfire and fireworks smoke and the noise was horrendous.

We had fireworks for a good few hours and I think that the children from across the road had a bonfire as well.  I do think though that we had more fireworks on Saturday night though.

Same here and it still smells awful outside of old bonfires!

Lucky you.  They have been non stop here since before Diwali and are still going on. Like living in Beirut.

I know lets all move to Freds house.

[saasher2012]

lol. I'll bring the truck round!.

I wonder if Fishie would pick us up in her coach.

We did have a few fireworks earlier but it's blowing a gale here at the moment so they seem to have stopped for the time being.

I have a couple here you can have somehow managed to find their way on to my car roof a little while ago.

You must live near me then. Mid September they started this year(anything after the first counts as a delayed start) and will undoubtedly carry on with more or less big bangs every night until it peters out, hopefully, near the beginning of January.

Same here GP, never gives up

Can't have anything to go with wearing a pair of hearing aids, can it?   We had a fair bit of rain down during the day, which could have dampened their entheusiasm.

[5129frederick]

All coming round my place, eh?

Phworr!  I'm in for a treat! 

[ed_blackadder_1]

That depends on what you class as a treat Fred.

[saasher2012]

Yep! But don't forget that includes everyone's dogs, cats & of course there will be a very important pedigree cow on board as well, who expects the very best of everything!. lol. Are you ready for this very important honour?. lol.

[5129frederick]
