  Been very quiet this year with no complaints from me, hopefully there won't be too much tomorrow as it is a Sunday. Got a bit noisy earlier forcing the cat to come into the house for nearly two hours, must be an age thing as she has never been bothered by them before.

  You are lucky, it has been like WW3 on and off for roughly the last three hours. If only we could go back to the fireworks of old that were not so noisy.
  
  My cat who is now 14 is sound asleep snoring so completely oblivious to the world.

  I'm not as happy, to be honest 3 years living in London I've never heard as many fireworks, day 2 of dog pissing itself and panting, pacing up and down for hours and hours... Friday 4pm to 9pm, today it started at 3 and is still going on, we packed our stuff and left to the fields to calm the dog down onlyu to get a bang right over our heads

  When I lived in Ilford, very nearly London we had Jewish new year, Diwali and Guy Fawkes celebrations running consecutively for about two months. My adopted Lhasa Apso "fat ted" used to stare out of the window wagging her tail.

  As a Trader at the big events i,ve just attended eight in the last two weeks and it amazes me how many people attend as the entry prices are quite expensive at some.Quex park was sold out with ticket sales of around 11,000.I,ve probably been to more than most but i really never take any notice of the fireworks,its just a good time to start getting things packed away when they start.
