I was never really a fan, but it was having a dog that's upset by them that turned me against them.Arthur Schenck (AmeriNZ)http://amerinz.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34249799.post-47991611991565958272020-07-14T12:21:54.092+12:002020-07-14T12:21:54.092+12:00You know I whole-heartedly agree.

I just can't deal with the constant noise - and worry that a fire will start due to the Wellington wind. Enough!Logannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34249799.post-82386640478546868372020-07-14T12:21:53.897+12:002020-07-14T12:21:53.897+12:00You're an old fuddy-duddy.

The photos I shared showed just the ones I could actually see, because on Saturday night I heard them hitting the roof of our house (and I'm not climbing up there—two storeys because of the slope of the land—to look! Still, it's a metal roof (which is actually why I heard it), and it's been raining a lot for months now, so I was annoyed, not worried. But if we'd had a long dry spell, I couldn't be so relaxed about it (if it was an actual drought, fireworks would be banned).<br /><br />Someone on Facebook said that she had a "right" to set off fireworks and it wasn't true that animals were harmed because she never fired them at her dog and kept it well away—yes, she <i>really</i> said all that. And this is why we can't have nice things, like a calm Guy Fawkes night.Arthur Schenck (AmeriNZ)http://amerinz.com/noreply@blogger.com
