The Great Cheap, Safe Fireworks Hunt

Don't waste your money on TNT rockets:-

New reg's this year mean I think you can only have up to 20g of explosive content in a 1.4g firework that is total. A lot of people are going to be very disappointed this year with there displays.

Terrible...

its 2 different things, both look pretty poor. streetwise is lots of rockety type things, galactic is more fountains.

also, galactic is £46 not £40 because jtf price DOES NOT include VAT.

Well said yes you get kids who get over 18's to go and buy the stuff for them then they set them off in streets and parks but you should not ban them and spoil it for everyone who has a safe and enjoyable display at home And if you ban fireworks most public display organsiers get there fireworks from shops AND the cost of taking my family 7 of us to an organsied display at £3 - £5 per person admission price and cost of food it's cheaper to get you own fireworks

TNT Firsworks was in ASDA last year and Totally crap Rockets was buy 1 get 2 free you set them off they went off a small bang and thats it no glitter no sparkles just a quiet bang not worth it with supermarket fireworks go for standard I think out of the lot there the best but Weco in aldi is good to so the more you pay the better they are

Truth be told, ALL supermarket fireworks are pap - unless of course you want a nice, pretty, minimal noise garden display. Then again, f Morrisons really believe the fireworks in the 'deal' they do (£40 selection box + £45 free fireworks) are worth £85 then I'm the Queen of Sheba.

Morrisons aren't alone - all of them are the same....3 words; Avoid, Avoid, Avoid.
