missuk: eh I like bright pretty things that involve explosions.. childhood habit I suppose.
Doesn't mean I like when they're not used properly though. If the factory fire was caused by people mis-using fireworks then yes, i'm against that. If it was caused by an accident at the factory, it can happen, if it was caused by something that couldn't be helped, meh, it happens.
Guy Fawkes night here has been a time when families head out to the backyard, have a little, almost safe, fun and enjoyment for a while and bother to all do something together. Maybe that shapes perceptions as well?
I have to say, as kiwis we're pretty damned reckless around each other with fireworks, been to more than 1 party, and more than enough ones at home where "RUN" or "HELL, INSIDE!" was called out at an accidently.. well ok not so much accidently as mistimely lit firework was let off. In most instances they weren't small bangers either.
Again though, in poperly used situations, they're alot of fun. Or at least a good couple of hours enjoyment if planned right.

when you get older, fireworks are cock. When your a kid its "wow!" and when your 14 or 15 its a chance to ask out that girl you like, but im 22 now and its just pain, every year i always seem to be taking 7 screaming yelling puking kids to the display.

well... I just got in from Frankfurt to Gatwick having flown over SouthEast England and although I normally choose an aisle seat I chose a window seat tonight and the view was fantastic! every where I looked on this clear night I could see bonfires and fireworks being left off. It really is a great night for it.
we're off to our local bonfire tomorrow night and the kids are really looking forward to that!
