where do i find decent fireworks? i don't want the usual sort of rubbish you can get from your local co-op i want the real decent stuff that should be made illegal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

The sooner the better if you ask me, then my dogs and cat dont have to be scared stiff by some numskull thinking its "cool" to let this crap off for 4 months of the ba$tarding year.

 

ok back to the question then for those who do like to celebrate fireworks night.

 

http://www.fireworks.co.uk/buy/best-sellers.html

In Newcastle we have a shop that only sells fireworks with great names such as ammo dump explosion and the crown jewels

 

theres a shop in sheffield called chinese fireworks (london road)or something had a decent brochure

good advice on the phone too

 

now we're getting the good stuff this stuff is spot on!!!

chaos your link isn't working all i get is a white screen?

 

What you need are display fireworks.

1st problem, i think there is some sort of certificate you need.
2nd problem, there is only 1 maker of display fireworks in the uk.
3rd, problem, kerching.

I used to know a tester who worked there before he relocated to Oz, He used to basically blow stuff up in a darkened hole, to find out what mixtures worked well together. When his daugter was born he did a display in his garden, involved lots of clay tubes burried in the garden and big round fireworks rammed down them cannon style.

It rattled so many windows, police turn up start having a pop, problem is its a display on a set loop so it cant easily be shut down, apparently the old peoples home residents thought the blitz was starting again and complained. In the end the police watched and ate a hot dog.

The nambi pambi stuff the sell online arent display fireworks, but there not bad. Kimbolton do some cracking displays, and have one lots of championships, and you have all probably seen them on TV.

 

I can concur: many years ago I helped Kim Fireworks set up a display in Cambridge. For my pains I was allowed to watch from inside the cordon. **** it was loud! Not for nothing are the bigger launching tubes called "mortars": they can be up to six inches across and the launching charge is something like half a pound of gunpowder. When it fires the sound pushes your ribs in.

Bought a big box of fireworks from Sainsburys last year. Set the first one off. Zoom! zoom! zoom! Be-be-BANG! We thought, "wow these are good!" But we soon discovered that all of them did just the same. Zoom! zoom! zoom! Be-be-BANG! None of them did anything else. No Catherine wheels, no jumping jacks. no snowballs nothing except a fizz and a bang. Rubbish. Back to Standard fireworks this year...

 

I bought a few fireworks for a friends display last year including one mother of a rocket. This was bought in a specialist firework shop only open around firework night.
Well we left the rocket till last and it didn't dissapoint, a couple of the neighbours went shopping the next day and found the remains of the rocket 2 miles away!!!

 

I want some of those really loud repetitive ones that are timed to go off at 2am on a wet Tuesday in December like they have around here.

A new neighbour moved in two years ago and had a party, sporadically setting off fireworks until 2.30 am, aweek later my biker mates performed a 8 tyre salute outside his house at 5am on the way to Spa, I have also introduced them to the Dog Turd Repeater, no pyrotechnics, just a small spade and a productive Spaniel....
