    Simmy were did you get the Black Mamba rockets from?

    I picked up some Black Gemini rockets for £10 from the Firework Warehouse demo night in St Helens on Saturday night to add to the stash.

    Next up some of the Widow Maker (Atom Bomb) candles from JTF, then a couple of the cakes from Lidl and a visit to see if a shop local to me has fireworks in, as they usually have some interesting stuff on sale!

    Cornor shop in glasgow he has some good deals 3 pakcs of Black mamba rockets for £30 only i wanted some atom bombs tho

    Lovely thanks :T my garden is really small :( so need something that is more on the contained side.

    Oh, ok do you have any all year round shops nearby?

    If it is smaller than 5m then your really supposed to just use garden fireworks. Problem with buying from Lidl is that all of their fireworks (with the exeption of a few fountains and maybe small pack of rockets) are 25m display fireworks.

    You would probably be ok with a cyber box as this contains mainly small fountains and a few roman candles, nothing with big bursts etc.

    But why I asked that about all year round shops is because they now stock special ranges of garden fireworks that produce brilliant effects that you would think are proper display fireworks!

    Also, WOW at that video of the firework shop, its like an Asda full of pyro haha!

    May be worth checking the regs on the small pack of rockets (£3.99), if there 5m (which I think they are) then it might be worth getting them too!

    They might not be that good but its a few extra fireworks for you to set off in your garden :)

    I just read on another forum that someone's local Lidl had ran out of cakes (pyro cakes lol). I was hoping to go down today to pick up 2 25 carats, hope they have them in stock. If not my back up plan is 1 fire fighter and the cheap rocket pack.
    Hope they have at least one cake in stock!

    This is my closest all year shop about 40 miles from me thinking of popping down there for some rockets i am interested in these:

    Panther 2 pack http://www.sonicfireworkshop.com/rockets/panther-2pce

    1st Strike 15 pack http://www.sonicfireworkshop.com/special-offers/1st-strike-15pce

    Both of those links have the videos of them both, the panther looks awesome, definitely nice to end a display on if you can afford them
    Compatible ink cartridges from 87p each here
