Fireworks 2

How stupid do you have to be to set fireworks off in the daytime? What's the point? OK so you might be unemployed and bored, have you not tried watching Flog It?
I assume you have spent the best part of this weeks benefits on buying the damn things, so at least wait until it's dark and you can see them.

Bonfire Night....

Now seems to be called Fireworks night. As a child I always remember it being Bonfire night - bonfire toffee etc..I have been looking at the various fireworks taking place around the SE to decide where to go with the family this weekend and I think we will probably head to Blackheath (although given the funding cuts there will probably only be one whizz bang). But why is it so hard to find a bonfire - I think the nearest is in Crystal Palace.
I assume it is due to health and safety, woe betide I guess anyone who wants to burn a guy fawkes....

Fireworks

Yippee for fireworks! I am off to see some tomorrow at Blackheath and join the masses as we get stuck in traffic and make our way over there. I've only ever been to the ones in Blackheath (I mean in this area not ever) and they are pretty impressive. In fact the first time I came I was living on the other side of London and I remember going to a fabulous Greek restaurant in what is now the Indian opposite Neal's Yard. Shame it closed.
I have never been to the ones at Danson Park and you have to pay for those so I probably won't ever go either.
There were a tonne of fireworks going off last night, some of them were pretty big too. Not sure I would set something that size off in the garden but it made for a lovely free display.
I also love New Year's Eve in these parts as you can see for miles from our house and there are always fireworks being set off.
Not as keen on the manky kids that have them though....
