No link as they seem to want to keep it low profile but it looks like Sainsburys have taken the decision not to sell fireworks this year. If you or someone you know are affected by the constant barrage of noise, mess and smoke that happens at this season (and when did Firework Night become Firework season?) then you might like to comment on their facebook page or website? Hopefully another step in the right direction.

Much as I would love to say something to spath, I realise it would be a complete waste of time so I won't waste my time and energy. This is just to let anyone know who might be interested in contacting Sainsburys. I wrote them an email to congratulate them for taking this stance, but unfortunately, it has come back as having the wrong email address. I left the s off so...

i always get mine from 'the range' anyhow. much cheaper than supermarket fireworks
There keeping them all, to blow Aldi up.:0)
these explosives should not be on sale to the general public anyway, madness. Organised displays only.
Brilliant news.
Here in Northern Ireland they are all licensed which cuts down on a lot of noise - however there is always those few with a friend of a friend.
rules rules and more rules - freedom is a myth.

Glad they've not banned fireworks.
When did Bonfire/Guy Fawkes Night, become Fireworks Night? It has been an accepted part of British history for 350 years. Maybe we haven't gotten used to it yet?
That Fawkes guy had some good ideologies. Viva la revolution.


Absolutely agree with TTT. Although it's still a few weeks before bonfire night, already there are fireworks going off where I live. They should definitely only be used for organised displays.
Well done Sainsbury’s.
Let’s hope the other supermarkets follow.
I do agree the supermarkets shouldn't get involved. They're over priced from the supermarkets and they make fireworks accessible to those who otherwise would't even consider buying them.
Good. I hope the other supermarkets follow suit.

It's Diwali as well and they celebrate with fireworks.
I think you'll find that Sainsbuys have realised that they have there fingers in to many pies, and are cutting back, if you watched the documentary on TV this week, their having enough problems selling what they were once good at. So all the fireworks are in the boardroom just now.
Fireworks should be banned and displays allowed on 1 night only
Well done Sainsburys!
I agree with organised displays only.
They should be available to organised events run by qualified people only.

If you are going to make snotty comments, at least get your quote right. This is what I said.
"and when did Firework Night become Firework season?"

I agree.
I always thought it was odd anyone that people celebrate an unsuccessful bomb attack by igniting small packets of of gunpowder. A bit like celebrating an unsuccessful bank robbery with an orgy of pickpocketing ...
Opps, the post as exploded :0)
"A bit like celebrating an unsuccessful bank robbery with an orgy of pickpocketing"

Been doing that for years, they called it 'austerity'.
Some people celebrate the failed attempts, other people celebrate the message of anarchy and the fact that if we all joined together, we could easily topple a corrupt system. I feel the idea of everyone buying and letting off fire works shows the power of the people.

If we all stand up, the board will topple.

Of course this doesn't apply to the state of government at this precise moment in time, but it could and will, eventually.
