I think this was an absolutely brilliant idea on Blackpool's part to get some brilliant firework displays which no doubt attracts more visitors.

Had it for a couple of years now willow.
The kids love it.........and obviously it's free!
I hate it coming up to November 5th though with the morons setting off fireworks in the street at least 6 weeks before the date.
They should just sell them from November the 4th to the 5th then it will cut down on accidents and noise.

You should try living round here! They go off all the time for whatever celebration (excuse) people can come up with! It's not as if they are even pretty ones, just bang, bang, bang and during daylight too.
