True but the better ones make their own (I think?)
Organised displays, fair enough - especially in Sussex, where bonfire night is such a big deal. When Seaford or Littlehampton have their bonfire nights everybody knows it's going to be noisy and can take appropriate action vis a vis pets etc. But generally such occasions involve very big fireworks, for which you need some sort of licence, so limiting sales to the general public wouldn't affect them.
If you'd read my other post you'd have seen that I'm perfectly happy with organised displays being staggered - people in the area know it's happening and can take appropriate steps, and OK, there are loud noises on two nights: one night when the organised display is taking place, and on November 5th, when the general public are having their own garden displays.
Nothing to do with 'people getting old'....what garbage. However, I can see from your user name that we're not going to get an unbiased opinion from you!
I'm absolutely certain that there's not a single bonfire society in Sussex that gets its pyrotechnic supplies from a local shop that sells fireworks to the general public.
But everybody knows that Guy Fawkes night was start by the Romans when they started bringing their candles to this country!
