Right Jonno got a load of new fireworks in, nomally we drive out to a field or something. Anyhew last night we had too much to drink and so decided to let them off in the front of the house, on the little garden bit.

Trouble was, we sort of got a tiny bit carried away, and decided to do a team effort and use the feck off rockets that we had been saving for a special occasion. So Jonno passes me one, (i have never done this before) and he gets the other really huge rocket. I stick mine in the ground, and he does the same, and we light them together.

Now he didn't tell me that i had to use the tube launcher thing, and it became really obvious that it was going to explode at knee level. We are talking none domestic firework here in front of the window. The bang was so bloody loud it hurt my ears, and we were both amazed it didn't cause the window to go through. The other went off alright, but i was too scared to look up and see it.

Now we are convinced that we are going to get a pair of ASBO's toady are are too embarrassed to look at the neighbours.

Anyone know of the law and fireworks? We have shit loads here and i am not too sure on the storage rules.

Cheers.

I remember us nearly taking down a British Midland plane when it was coming in to land......(we didn't mean to like! Mels & Nicolas mam lives just over the road from the runway).....but I can't recall us blowing up a phone box though......letter boxes and grids yes.....but phone boxes....not sure.

I remember the Manchester Evening News calling us "young vandals".

Those were the days....:D

I was curious to see if there was any laws regarding the use of fireworks. This is what I found on google:

"The Fireworks Regulations 2004 prohibit anyone under 18 from possessing fireworks, and anyone except professionals from possessing display fireworks. These regulations also prohibit the use of fireworks at night (11pm-7am) in England and Wales, with extensions for the following festivals:

  • Until 1.00am on the night of the Chinese New Year
  • Until 1.00am on the night of Diwali
  • Until 1.00am on New Year's Eve
  • Until midnight on 5 November
These regulations are to be enforced by the police. There is a penalty of up to £5000 or 6 months in prison for breach of the curfew."
