Well OT but Google isn't being my friend.

Does anyone know if the sheds/supermarkets/whatever will be stocking
fireworks for the Jubilee celebrations?
I have (rather stupidly) offered to co-ordinate an 'everyone bring a
firework and we'll put on a show' thing for the end of our street party.
However if everyone has to go miles to a specialist firework shop this
doesn't sound as sensible as buying whatever you fancy at the local
shops.


Hah - wrong group!
Not doing my best today - X-post to uk.d-i-y

Might be the wrong group but here's an answer for you. There was, maybe
still is, a firework shop on the corner of Heath Rd and Foxhall Rd in
Ipswich. Haven't been that way for over a year but it might be worth
checking out.


Thanks Kathy and Chris - the point is the 'everyone bring a firework' part.
The committee decided that it didn't want to go round asking everyone for
even more money so one person could go and buy fireworks (quite reasonable
in my view).
The idea was that people could 'impulse buy' a couple of fireworks whilst
doing their normal shopping and there was no pressure to contribute if you
didn't want to.
, nor on the amount you spent.

We really don't want people to have to travel to Ipswich specially to buy
one or two fireworks, either.
Spoils the whole point of the idea.

So it looks like we probably won't be doing it.

Oh, and yes, the firework shop is still going strong :-)
