wwwd Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 I've learnt from the last few years. You can easily waste 50/100 on supermarket fireworks and they're utter sh*te. For the good ones you need to go to proper firework places but you're paying through the nose for those ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EscortNreg Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 best fireworks available legally in the Uk have to be kim bolton fireworks! they are the last UK manifacturer of fireworks and theyre amazing, they use the rarer colours as well like blues and purples. the rockets they suply are borderline legal, when i used to sell them they were thinking of pullin gthem off the range but left them on. they are made with a copper bassed explosive so instead of a small explosion where the "stars" are thrown out of the end of the cardboard tube the whole tube explodes so you actually get a rounder display/explosion. And if you were to visit them in selfridges manchester or london you can buy legal display electronically detonated fireworks (the ones that look like large onion bulbs) when i worked for them John Collar (the MD) decided he wanted a fire ball display so he had a 1/2 inch thick walled steel box made, filled it about 2 inches with gunpowder then 50 small bags of petrol mix. when he was detonating it my ass cheeks were clentched as tight as a nuns fanny!!! i have never heard anything so loud and the ground actually shook!!! there was a small bit of fireballing but it was more like a mushroom explosion... He loved it! lol. he supplies all the special effects for films and theme parks so he has all the good toys and the bloke is a bloody nutter!!! like playing with a kid with all the toys! lol. I miss that job! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mk6 Si Ross Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 best fireworks available legally in the Uk have to be kim bolton fireworks! who's she???!!!!!!! (Kimbolton, 10 miles up the road from me) I'd happily sign a petition to get all fireworks banned and for fireworks to only be available to organised shows for the public to go and watch. Any privately sold fireworks, if so required, should be of the silent type. thats my 2p worth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sortedford Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Went to a massive display for the fireworks and the bonfire, then had some smaller pretty ones for the kids at home. Standard fireworks - £20 a box, buy one get one free, then had a voucer and got a £30 box for free.So 3 boxes for £20, not bad at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TC-DNB Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 After seeing the fireworks display at Disney World Florida, nothing compares IMO. They were fcukin' epic! The ones ive seen locally and heard round the road are annoying and shite TBH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We (us n the kids) love xmas, what the kids don't like is 9/10/11pm and even later, fireworks going off left right n centre. Got 2 kids 2 n under n its scarey for them. Have no problem with organised displays at decent times of the early evening. Also love xmas and putting the lights up And Epcot fireworks are awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
