Tonge moor green jacket Posted January 1 Posted January 1 Why were dickheads letting fireworks off from tea time? Worst I've seen of my dogs: petrified for a good hour or two. Wife sat on the bedroom floor with him in her arms, whilst we tried to watch another great white eat children. Jaws 2. Quote

crawshawbooth Posted January 1 Posted January 1 I just cannot believe i missed the train down to Birmingham for the massive fireworks Went to bed and missed it last year as well DOH Quote

Stepdaughter travelled down for it and spent a fortune Cost of fireworks around £4M, ticket sales (all 100,000 tickets sold out) raise between £3M & £4M - londoners get a reduced ticket price. 4 of our mates went down and paid £55 each for tickets bang opposite the Eye It's probably an absolutely huge nett profit win for London Quote

Add in what folk spend on food, booze, hotels, travel, etc. Big win. Wouldn’t do it myself but get the attraction for my daughters/stepdaughters generation. All over Instagram every year Quote
Not in Crawley Posted January 3 Posted January 3 Spent 12 quid in Asda Astley Bridge on New Year fireworks. Youngest liked them. Hope you all had a lovely New Year. Managed to get one match in - of course, we lost, but was nice being back home for a few days. Quote

Who the fuck picked one up, opened it without losing a digit or two and thought mmmmm, these look tasty as fuck. Quote

I love them, i understand some folks don't but they are delicious. The Whitstable Oyster Company essentially owns the town - runs everything from holiday lets to The Lobster Shack resturant. The festival is great and really well attended, if you are ever down this way its well worth a visit - decent day trip from London. Quote

Your ancestors may have migrated, but the true patriots never left these shores (other than to conquer third world shitholes) Quote

I'm with you, I love them, but I can see why some folk don't Pre-Brexit, when we used to be able to easily take the dogs to France on holiday, one of my favourite things was sitting in the market square of the local village we often stayed in, on a Friday night, listening to live music and enjoying a large plate of fresh oysters and a nice white wine. Happy Days. Quote
