Those pics are just displaying nothing better than piss poor crackers. And the price tags are ludicrous. You'd be mad to purchase anything in those pics, and wasting your cash.

Going back up to Jonesborough this weekend, where do you suggest we would get better value for money?

OK.

I didn't buy any of the piss poor crackers anyway, so I'm not that bothered.

This one looks pretty good, and they are in one of the pictures for £25 (€35)

Why do you say they're piss poor crackers? Aren't they diamond fireworks and bad boy fireworks? And €3.50 doesn't seem ludicrous for a packet of thunder rockets

I haven't a clue on prices, I just happened to be in the shop as I pass by sometimes, I wouldn't bother buying fireworks! I live in the South.

Yes, they were 100% open when I was there. Also the one at the back of the market in Newry is open too.

These prices have reduced slightly due to exchange rates,

Example: War Hawks rockets were €20, now they are €18

Is the fireworks factory the one on the left hand side if you were heading back towards Dublin on the old road?
