00:00 No, I mean I understand where people are coming from, especially if you've got pets. It does
00:06 stress pets out. But it's tradition, isn't it? I remember growing up, you used to look
00:13 forward to November the 5th.
00:14 I think who you sell them to should be quite tight. People under 18 shouldn't be able to
00:28 buy them, I don't think. Not over the counter. But then, they'd probably buy them online
00:33 anyway.
00:34 I don't think fireworks should be banned. As long as the parents are responsible and
00:40 don't let the children anywhere near them and set them off themselves. Or go to a state
00:46 that's supervised and things like that.
00:51 I've got no problem with being readily available. I think you need an ID to buy them, don't
00:55 you? So I think, obviously some shops don't abide by that and it can cause a problem.
00:59 For me, I've never had a big issue with fireworks as long as people are respectful.
01:03 When we were kids, we were buy bangers and we'd do all sorts of stupid things with them.
01:07 I sometimes think the youth today haven't got the intelligence anymore. We were careful
01:10 what we did. We played with fire and we got burnt. So you didn't play with fire.
01:14 Well you've got to use them very carefully. And sometimes there'll be accidents with them.
01:21 So I think for people trying to use fireworks before they know how to do them properly,
01:30 you can have some people quite badly injured. So I would say, good enough for the thing
01:37 it's remembering, but you've got to be careful who's using them.
01:41 I think the sale of fireworks is a very sensitive issue and who they're selling fireworks to.
01:48 Not necessarily should they be banned, but I think they should be under more control.
01:51 You can have fireworks, but not bangers. They frighten children and they frighten animals.
01:56 There's no need for them. But the nice ones like that, they're fine. But not the bangers
02:01 should ban them.
02:02 Yeah, publicly I do, but you know, for kids and that, I think they should have, alright
02:07 having a proper organised firework display, that's okay. But some of them, I mean, oh.
02:15 Why do you think they should be banned then?
02:16 I don't know. I've said them probably, the children I've seen, you know, throwing them
02:24 at people, you know.
02:25 Well, personally I quite like fireworks. And I think, you know, that time of year it's
02:30 a bit dismal, brightens up the time a bit. And especially at the moment, with all the
02:35 weather and what have you, yeah, I'm all for a few fireworks.
02:38 I don't think they should be banned, but I think they should be maybe placed better,
02:44 like safety adverts. You don't really hear much of Guy Fawkes and all that these days
02:48 anyway. But growing up myself, I remember them being more adverts on TV, but I think
02:52 they should, wouldn't ban them, I just place them better.
02:55 Well, children, children get hurt and they're dangerous, too dangerous, no. They're too
03:00 powerful, not what they used to be, they're too powerful, no.
