Are You Scared Of Fireworks?

[Barsel]

Is it me, or are the fireworks getting louder? Last night, I was jumping of the sofa when fireworks were going off somewhere nearby, probably 6 streets away!.

[237SJ]

Well I am now because the noise is a great cover for people who make a noise while breaking into your garage as I found out to my cost last night.

[Barsel]

Oh no, did they steal anything of value?

[237SJ]

There has been a spate of it around here. They are looking for good bikes. I was really surprised they didn`t take the hedge trimmer though. I must be the only person around here who has had the burglars in but they decided not to take anything! We did hear a bang but just thought it was fireworks.

[Barsel]

I always wonder if it's a gun or bomb if it's just one or two bangs. Also wonder where people get the money to spend on fireworks when it's not even Nov 5th yet.

[237SJ]

They tend to start around Diwali and continue until well past Nov 5th. A complete waste of money.

[ummmm]

I'm not scared of them. Neither is my cat.

I'm guessing the people who buy them have jobs!

[Patsy33]

It will go on for weeks if not months. Can be very unsettling sometimes. Who would know if it was a gun or just loud bangers??...

They don't frighten me, just annoy me !

[albaqwerty]

am not scared of them just find them annoying.
Wish they weren't on sale to the public.

237, that's awful ! :-(

[woofgang]

no, not at all scared. Made very very angry though because of the effect it has on my dogs. Loud noises tend not to make me jump because i am in earshot of a container depot and the noise they make when they drop one the last few feet onto the stack is LOUD

[mikey4444]

NO, not since I was a very little boy.

[Arksided]

No they don't bother me at all.
As regards to being burgled my Bro many moons ago said to me, 'If anyone breaks into your home they'll probably leave you a few quid.'

[Mortartube]

It's you. They've got quieter by law in recent years. If it's loud, it's unlikely to be a consumer firework.
