          Here too. Sporadically though. Glad they don't bother my cats! I feel sorry for the ones that are scared of them.

                Ditto.

                Well if the shops are selling them off, people buying them would have been better off saving them for their New Year's celebrations. At least then the poor animals who are affected get a bit of a break from all the whizz-bang-pops.

                We had odd ones going off in the week up to November 5th and then just odd ones every night since, not too bad to be honest. Last night though was the local scouts display (always a week after the main date, I think its so it doesn't clash with the big display on the park) and again they didn't disappoint, a brilliant display lasting about 30 minutes and we get a prime viewing spot from our front window :heehee::dbgrtmb:

                I suspect we'll carry on hearing just odd ones up to New Year's Eve now...:rolleyespink:

                  At the time of writing, they were a tad blue - I was working out in the cold yesterday :biggrin:

                  Besides, I was 'proper' grumpy yesterday (not a busting lot better today)

                  EDIT - there was a load set off just after eleven last night; that is just plain inconsiderate.

                    Yes we are still getting sporadic whizzes and bangs going off and I am not aware of any large indian communities around her. Think the youngsters have too much money to waste!
