Thread Name: BS: Fireworks! Hate them!
Subject: RE: BS: Fireworks! Hate them!
Kids no longer buy traditional fireworks as I remember them. What kids light these days are small bombs. I watched local kids this afternoon carrying three foot rockets and ten inch bangers. A local shopkeeper told me lorry drivers on continental runs are bringing them in and selling them illegally. The local ambulance crews are seeing some horrific injuries due to the amount of black powder in these devices.
