Only just started?
I have been getting them mid-afternoon around here for a few weeks now! I think it is a special Manchester Fekwit thing?

They've been going off here since they went back to school, after the summer holidays.

I'm fairly sure fireworks were not invented for one random night in Britain

Fireworks are one of the few things that people can enjoy at no cost, paid for by strangers. Enjoy them......and don't start whining about your dogs and cats and goldfish.
A halfway decent semi-private display costs a thousand pounds a minute.

If I got a 40 gallon barrel and hit it with a hammer all night long I would get arrested for disturbing the peace.

Well I love em. I can't say it bothers me if they go off early so long as it's not after 10pm say.
The flip side, one that bears remembering when we (Well I have in the past) complain about the cost....someone has to sit there and assemble them in a very precarious job, one thats highly regulated and saturated with H&S I hope, and yet a person known to me has just been killed in the most terrible circumstances working in such a factory, he was around 25 and had a baby less than a year old. Terrible, terrible way to go.

Well, no, as it happens. But I do see your point.

Ah, but if you spent 15 minutes banging your 40 gallon drum and stopped and then your neighbours got their drum from the side of the garage and banged it for 15 minutes and so on down the road, no one would get arrested.Fireworks = bangs = noise

Fireworks are a bit taboo to me. I was 14 when I saw my first show as they were illegal where I grew up due to a civil war that was happening at the time and it took a little while for the law to be scrapped when the war ended. And of course it took longer for this news to be filtered down to the forces. So it could have been very dangerous to have them even after they were legalised.
I don’t mind them apart from all the litter left behind. A lady in the village was shot in the neck by a firework run by the local working mens’ club. The operators are known characters/drunks. Legal action against them failed.
