mac boy i would go to lidl and buy the 25 karrot and ipanema @ 2 for £12 1 firefighter @ £10 and a fire pack @ about £13 and that should be a good selection or you can get 2 cyber box's instead of the fire pack

Fireworks

Hi, I brought a couple of fireworks today from ASDA. I thought some of them were too light for the size so i opened the paper top on one of them to have a look.(TNT blasting barrel)
They are a rip off. it is simply a few tubes linked with fuse and 90% empty space. I returned them before I could take a picture. but i drew what it looks like real quick on photoshop.

Just wanted to post this. good fireworks are not like this. if anyone has got this firework could you open the paper top(careful of the fuse) and post a photo.
it doesnt damage the firework at all.

Seeing as you do not want rockets, i'm guessing you wouldn't want any big multishots. So i would reccomend that you buy the following:

Lidl
Fire Pack selection (12.99)
Cyber Box selection x2 (12.00)

Aldi
Sparklers x3 (2-3??)

The Lidl selection boxes are very good value this year, and would be by far the best selection boxes from a supermarket available, They also have some impressive big fireworks, but seeing as you dont want rockets, I wouldn't reccomend them. Have a nice BFN!:beer:

That looks pretty poor, does it claim to be a mine anywhere on the label? I've got a very similar thing but made by Kimbolton, it's packed with multishot launch tubes, fountains and a huge central mine, that TNT one looks unfinished lol. Good Photoshop skills too

In case this was missed earlier, here's the Latif's online firework brochure, some excellent prices :
