Well here we are and from now on until New Year's Day we are going to get a dose of nightly fireworks going off at all hours, disturbing our sleep, scaring our pets, smoking the air and bringing joy to ... but a handful of people letting them off!
I really wish we would outlaw fireworks. What other civilised country gives gunpowder to their youth and trusts them not to misbehave with it? There's always accidents and injuries and chaos and mayhem.
I am not a boring killjoy - I've enjoyed watching plenty of fireworks abroad at organised displays and festas where people don't throw them at old people or young kids and run off laughing or let them off until the small hours of the morning.
It just makes me hate England even more! Now, where are my earplugs?
