Diwali celebrations I expect.

I wonder if things are getting stricter around the sale of the fireworks? Seems cigarettes and alcohol has got harder to buy (for young folk) and perhaps this is the case with fireworks too?

I'm just grateful that the 5th of November falls on a Saturday this year as otherwise you get double the amount of noise; one party on the 5th November and one on the nearest Saturday.

I have no problem with displays but we live near a field and before the recession people were letting fireworks off after 11pm and people who lived in the flats adjoining the field had dogs who were terrified.
