@Edent@mastodon.social I am not from UK,but these fireworks are not good to be used without clear information to the whole public in the place where it going to be used. The fireworks produces different colours with bright light in the sky,which can cause stress to pets as well as affect people who have pressure

@Edent@mastodon.social Cheers, have passed that on to a few specific friends who have a terrible time every Nov 5th, as well as sharing it. Westley watches them from the window with apparent fascination, but know others aren't so lucky.
