    The Lidl Cyber Pack fireworks are mostly marked as 25M, even the small cylindrical fountains for some reason..? If you think that's not going to be suitable then the Thrilling Pack from Aldi @ £4.99 could be another choice, it's 90% fountains and should be great for a short distance display. Here's a pic : :)

    To be honest i reckon that once i get there and see all the other stuff available i will probably change my mind again. The collection only rockets look good but there is only one vid of the Midnight Finale which looks good. Can't find any vids for the big nobby.
    Compatible ink cartridges from 87p each here

    I don't like recommending Sainsbury's fireworks but the 'Ethos' selection box (£9.99) they are selling is all 5m safety distance stuff. It contains 10 fountains, 4 roman candles and 1 wheel.

    Sainsbury's are also selling a more expensive (= more overpriced) selection box called 'Legend' which contains 8 fountains, 4 roman candles, 4 rockets a mine and a wheel. It's £20 BOGOF but the only other thing in that range is a 25m cake called Inferno. You could, however, get 2 of the Legend boxes for £20.

    Hey,

    Just to inform you, Ive just got back from the lidl with 2 more 25 carats to add to my collection :)

    Different service every time Ive been the lidl, first time manager came over asked what we wanted and he went off for about 10 mins and came back with them and took them to another till. Second time manager got the fireworks very quickly and we were served on the same queue. This time we had a bit more shopping so waited in the queue, asked for fireworks and the manager went to get them while the woman on the till just waited (with a very large queue behind!-only til open!). So we had to stand there for 10 mins in the queue while he brought over the fireworks, lucky there were no narks in the queue haha!

    Glad that they had some left anyway :)

    Another suggestion for you could be the tesco deal. You spend £25 on fireworks (mostly 5 m safety distance) and get a free cake. Most of these fireworks include fountain/ mine combination, a selection box, rockets and fountain.
