So who is paying for all those bloody noisy fireworks?

[lankeela]

What a waste of money, and now they have started round where I live. BAN THEM.

[lankeela]

1.8 million!!!!!!!

[NazNomad]

I suppose they could have just wasted it on the homeless instead? (tic)

[jaydah]

I'd like to agree but its work and income for some.

[ummmm]

I thought they were great :-)

pmsl I knew someone on here would whinge about the cost..........I thought they were brilliant.

[albaqwerty]

the prices seem to have dropped.

Nice to see them but between 10 and now is ridiculous.

[jaydah]

errrrr - and they moan about passive smoking !

[ummmm]

My cat loved them as well and is now sitting at the window watching the local ones...

[craft1948]

So does my dog ummmm..........(he's a bit weird)

[ummmm]

Like his owner :-)

[snowyball]

Fantastic show, I loved it.

[albaqwerty]

oops sorry thought you meant the local loonies not the council ones :D

[looobylooo]

yes, it was a brilliant display!! spectacular!!



(i wouldve preffred them without the added music though)

[Sqad]

Well!.....apparently.!........for every 1million pounds spent on fireworks, 7million pounds are retrieved in tourism and local trade.........seems a good deal.

The tourists in London last night will spread the word that it's a great place and everyone had a fun time seeing in the New Year. They will be back with a few extra friends next year hopefully.
