    When we were kids we used to spend the school holidays in France. My brother used to bring a load of fireworks back in his luggage and sell them to his school buddies at a serious markup! This is when he was about 9. Very enterprising young fella. :rolleyes:

    yeah, I remember smuggling the fireworks back from France at that age too but then my neighbour started a raging fire when a rocket landed in his coal bunker so we were monitored pretty carefully after that.

    Get mine in the north every halloween

    thing i dont understand, Why cant we at least adopt UK laws on them

    LIke fireworks should be a part of most celebrations, like why are they legal in the UK across the water yet were treated like kids and told you cant handle them:eek:

    I always thought it was to stop the IRA stockpiling gunpowder, to be honest.

    Halloween in my neighbourhood is like Vietnam in 1968.

    Funnelly enough that year coincides with when fireworks were banned here!

    I seem to remember a fire in a Dublin fireworks warehouse on the Quays which resulted in the death of one or two people + the outbreak of the Troubles up North, both contributing for their 'official' demise in the ROI from the late 60s onwards....

    Blackmarket Fireworks in Dublin's Moore Street have been available ever since,(at extortionate prices) :(

    If you want to stockpile fireworks just drive literally (and I mean literally) a couple of hundred metres over the boarder in to northern Ireland on the old road to Newry and there's a huge warehouse selling them and they accept euros

    Of course to be within the confines of the law you have to discharge them all before coming back down across the boarder.

    If I had as many problems with a country that you have I wouldn't live in it. Any chance of something positive for your next thread? New year new you ��
