The best thing about fireworks is when some lefty do-gooder decides to ban the sale of the really cool ones (6" morter) because some idiot headmaster at a school display get's his heasd blown off in a one-time freak accident because he loaded the charge incorrectly, then looked down the tube to see why it hadn't gone off.
Honestly I think the UK needs to trust it's populace with fireworks, despite the above accident and the actions in antiquity of a certain guido fawkes. :hmm:
