Fireworks.

No government has had the balls to do anything decisive.

I can't sleep in one of the front bedrooms now because of the traffic noise.

Yep, I think I could put up with it if it was just over a couple of days but it isn't.

I'm OK, but I know people with PTSD who definitely aren't.  I am worried that with no large public displays this year, more people are going to have 'private' displays in their gardens, over a longer period of time...

I'm worried about pets too.  One of the cats we had was terrified of them and used to seek out the sturdiest part of the house to hide in.  We think she must have been bombed in a former life.

Anyone else remember that - pre millenium - there wasn't really fireworks at New Years either.  Now I get rudely awakened just past midnight with the din!

I'm fortunately relative immune to fireworks.

Car horns however set me on edge from three streets away :(

I'm with you - I used to love the old traditional fireworks but now it seems that every antisocial a-hole is buying tons of Chinese military-grade explosives to try to blow up little parts of the UK.      And now November 5th seems to be mid-October until Christmas.        I'm very bored with it all.
