    Fireworks are good, even better when you go to a proper, big organised display.

    but the fireworks we can get don't come from the shops, they come from market traders, anyway there's no stopping the fireworks.

    I've not experienced it first-hand. Thankfully.
    And, hopefully, won't do.

    My friend was saying that someone tried to throw one at him, but missed the window and managed to set it off in the car, which is no more than they deserved.

    I find something slightly disturbing about 10 year olds being up and about after the witching hour..... Maybe I'm just a grumpy old git!

    You aint the only one, I must be the same.

    Its disgraceful that kids are allowed to roam the streets late on a night, the parents do not give a shit. When they are causing a nuisance you always hear these parents say :
    "My Johnny would never do that", how would they know what their little johnny is getting up to when he is out, they aint got a clue where little Johnny is, let alone what he is doing :mad:

    See, you might or might not approve of it... but back home if you saw, say, your neighbour's kids behaving like vandals it'd be perfectly normal for you to grab them by the ear, march them back to their homes and explain to their parents what they had been up to. Upon which the parents would punish them- anything from being grounded to a couple of well-deserved slaps, and the kid would be sure not to bother you any more.

    In one case, in which a local teenager was seen stealing a car radio, this man who was a friend of the family saw him and slapped him right across the face. Then he told him to go to his dad and explain why he had been slapped.

    The father apparently slapped him a few more times, and actually thanked the man for taking such action. The youngster was never to do such a thing again, and as far as both men were concerned they stopped him from going down the slippery slope that was common amongst kids in the area (it was a rough neighbourhood and many youngsters ended up hooked to drugs and stealing to fund the habit).

    Sadly nowadays (and especially in this country) anyone who dared to do as much as to grab a kid by the ear would be charged with assault; and probably at the kid's parents' request.
