Unfortunately delivery to my workplace isn't going to happen. Any specific brothers items or are they a generally good brand?

I also have a Makro card if that's any use.

As Dan said, Makro are carrying Nightstar this year but as you have a card this may help :

Are you after Cat 2 or 3? Most of the Brothers stuff is good,

I would say the majority on there are good pieces, just depends how much you really want to spend per firework. I would avoid Red Devil though!

Also depends on the prices of the brothers stuff as theres no prices online unfortunatly, what you could do is go through a couple of those brothers pieces and google their names to watch a video of them/ get an idea of price then note down the ones you like

-Oh and Makro are stocking Night Star this year, more or less the same as what Morrisons are stocking so I would probably give them a miss

Thanks for your advice. I'll stick to that store and the usual weco ones. I don't know the difference between Cat 2 and Cat 3 though, does that mean 5m vs 25m distance? If so I have plenty of space, so 25m.

Yeah sorry Cat 2- 5m safety distance & Cat 3- 25m distance

I have a few Brothers pieces that are listed on the Kerrison website in my collection for 2012 Il try and post some videos to a few that they stock if I get a chance tomorrow or something !

Seen on another forum that 3 people bought and fired an Aquila today and all three of them blew up on the ground. Doesn't sound too good, especially when the first three people who fired them ALL failed!

Has anyone on here fired one yet?

Oh and the brothers stuff is really good.

If you can get to Kerrisons, then I would do that and save the delivery charge and spend it on more fireworks.

Raj at Newsbox is a top bloke. Bought fireworks from him many times.
