Overrated - unless you just want to impress people that you have money to
burn.

If it is showing off if one person is trying to impress. But when you club
together to buy bigger and better fireworks as a group it is not.


I get my fix from going out into the garden at midnight on New Years Eve
and see enough to last me for a year - and I don't even need to have my
own bang - I share other people's bangs.


Cheapskate:-)


I think they can get monotonous. My original post related to the number of
roman candle type things in a "Cake" for £17. At over 100 I can't believe
many people would have the staying power to find it fun for so long.

TBH that firework lasts about 15 seconds. There are some good fireworks out
there.


I used to go to a firework party when the kids were smaller - after about
10 mins the kids were in the house playing with toys and all the grown ups
were at the buffet table whilst the poor host was trying to set off all
the fireworks that the guests had brought along to impress the other
guests. We learned from this after about 3 years and the invite then
said - Bring a bottle - Barbecue if dry. We could watch other peoples
fireworks and circulate without treading on fireworks.


You forgot the bonfire. Fireworks are only half of the fun. Well a quarter
of the fun if you include the food and the drinks as seperate items.
