getting earlier!

this is insane!
some of our neighbours are already setting off fireworks! I know it's been a rubbish 18 months and people need to let off steam, so start celebrating early, but fireworks - at the beginning of October?

Re: getting earlier!

If you are not keen on early fireworks, do not move to this town. The Bonfire season starts in September with bonfire celebrations in different parts of East Sussex. It culminates here in Lewes on 5th November. Only goes quiet again a week or so afterwards.

Re: getting earlier!

There's a firework shop 5 minute walk from me, I have the damn things going off all year. Personally I don't think they should be on sale to the public.

Re: getting earlier!

There was a shop in my home town which started playing 'festive' music all day from about the middle of October, literally no idea how the staff managed to stay sane listening to that for 2 and half months!
