mikef Posted October 18, 2003 Report Share Posted October 18, 2003 Last night these stories were reported in the local news:-Firefighters in Coventry say that children playing with fireworks are already causing problems in the city three weeks ahead of Bonfire Night. A group of youngsters threw a rocket onto a bus on Swanswell Street on Thursday night. A fire service spokesman said it was incredible nobody was hurt. Meanwhile, the police were called in to help after fire crews were attacked with fireworks and bricks in Stoke Heath city last weekend. I'm sure we're all getting bugged by firworks going off for weeks, do you think it's now time to ban them for general sale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest nellie2 Posted October 18, 2003 Report Share Posted October 18, 2003 What I would like to know is where they get them from.....yes, ban em. They are so expensive anyway. You are much better to spend your money on a display and a hot dog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted October 19, 2003 Report Share Posted October 19, 2003 From my contribution to the "Debates" section about fireworks" This is, again, a very difficult problem and there is no straightforward answer.As with banning anything, the problem is not cured but sent underground. It is easy to obtain some ingredients but forming them into a firework is not and takes some expertise. A bomb is the likely result of home made fireworks and we don't have to imagine the potential consequences of that."Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
