I dropped into Asda today too, no fireworks, girl on the help desk 'phoned upstairs and was told fireworks will be on sale tomorrow (Sat 15th) although as there was not even a counter or leaflet in sight with just 12hrs to go I wouldn't hold your breath

Asda usually start selling fireworks around the 17th/18th. They're always late. :rotfl:

Yeah Si, they are rather late this year, Im sure in previous years they have at least had leaflets floating about. Just noticed that there's a pic on the asda website:

40p for 10 sparklers!! That looks like a good bargain!! Might have to stock up on some , the £5 selection box looks ok too, if it has a wheel in I may be tempted to go for one


Just noticed my Sainsburys leaflets are now on The Firework Shop list with no mention of 'thanks to'...

I wouldn't mind, would be nice to be asked though.

Si7

Good spot Dan, could be the answer to your catherine wheel prayers

Just getting 3 x Cyber Packs for now, I love those packs

Also picked up a Cascade Selection Box from JTF this afternoon, have to admit it's not bad for the money at all, it's a big ol' box full & there's a couple of multi tube fountains in there, one piece, the Fountain of Jewels, is a 6 tube fountain. There's 3 x 18 shot barrages with fixing stakes which is a nice touch plus a pack of rockets. 29 fireworks in mine although the listing says 27. For £16.95 + VAT you could do worse..
