  • i am getting my fireworks from jtf and from a friend from work this year(same as last year).

    I was also be the tester and pick up the mystic pack, rocket pack and maybe another selection box.
  • well as said previously ill be buying from lidl then the rest from a store in glasgow
  • Well i think looking through youtube the weco brand in some cases are seriously underrated i.e their barrages are so low priced but an epic pay off :D and mixing them with other barrages are awesome
  • the weco cakes are great value for money got 2 last year going back for 7 this year lol just no fire fighters for me dont know why just dont apeal to me

    I would have appreciated a post on here from the owner of thefireworkshoplist.com/blog/uk-retail/aldi-2011-fireworks/ acknowledging the use of the images I scanned and then posted on here, it's not like I mind. lol

    Anyway, the Aldi range isn't as bad as some people are making it out to be. Yes, it's TNT (again) but some of the products are decent, for example, the Jet Blast rockets (called something else last year?) are excellent and easily worth the £10.

    Me too, I posted up the Morrisons leaflet and its on there, Im not bothered at all as I do put them on here to share with people :), but it would be nice to know I suppose. Also, may be a mistake but on the page of my morrision leaflet it says thanks Dave, rather than Dan haha!

    Thanks for the link :D. On the back of some of the fireworks I noticed it says spectators must be at least 25 metres away but on the video when those items have been lit, they don't look that bad to have to keep to that distance. What are everyones thoughts on that? I know it's for health and safety reasons etc but does everyone keep that distance when using fireworks especially the big barrage packs?

    Fountains are ok to be 5 metres back.If you think then with a barrage or candle ,the shots can easily go at least 20 metres up,imagine if the candle fell over or to a cake,whatever the distance those shots reach,if you are within that reach you could be at risk. this happened last night,my mate lit a candle ,a few shots went up ok ,then candle fell over, 1 shot went straight for him. i have it on video,ill prob put it up on my next vid.
