Handbags   (The sad, the bad and the ugly. Non-productive stuff here.)

Seems to be the kids who have quit these activities.

Still find the occasional bommy in my neck of the woods, but tiz adults, not kids who have organised them. Much more formal. Nearest to me was admission by ticket! (Won't continue as site now redeveloped)

Fireworks: seem to be let off throughout the year now, but over next week, I expect they will be waking us all at times such as 3-00am. I guess youths rather than kids. No doubt the kids will torch a few cars to add to the festivities.

City has a formal fireworks display. I have seen roof fires caused by its production of falling burning debris! Also at least one injury to their presumably trained operatives.

Fireworks do make me uncomfortable. I guess many who have been under fire will feel the same.
