Yeah this seasons great with Halloween as well it brings me back to when I was a child.I was hoping to post the Sainsbury's leaflet but I'm not aloud.(Due to me not posting or something.

Have you uploaded the image to a hosting site? (If not just upload it to photobucket.com) If you have a link to the image you could simply do what the guys on the last page did and just leave spaces where the dots should go in the link for example:

www. thefireworkwarehouse .co .uk and it should work fine!

Would be really useful if you could get it on here for everyone to see!

Is the Sainsbury's leaflet a link or a picture? You can post pics but on links miss out the www part, most people will get the picture from the remaining URL.

On the epic site, if you click through to the firework in question it will tell you the total price (including VAT). It is annyoning that the shopping cart doesn't include VAT though.

JTF prices are comparable to Epics and some of their pieces get good reviews on the UKFR forums.

I'd rather go to Epic though as it's their profession and I'd imagine they could offer better advice. I also like that you can see videos of the fireworks so you know it's unlikely to be a dud. I don't want to spend £30 on one item only to find it's a piece of crap.

Going to both is probably a good idea! I love the fireworks season! Even looking at the poor offerings in Asda gets me excited and tempts me!

agree on everything, i have bought my fireworks from epic this year.... and i am with them the bang you get off those echo bombs is outstanding... even the new 3" ball heads are good

Hello everybody, I have just created an account for the first time on this site, but i've been looking at this rather special fireworks thread for the last 4 years.

hi pyro, you've heard right, they are crap lol
you get what you pay for, but that depends what you're after, small garden party with kids then they're ok but if you're after somthing a little bigger goto the pros

That post has just made my day ! Thanks!

Edit: will also say, if ANYONE is looking to buy supermarket fireworks I would definitely go to Lidl! Just a shame they arnt on sale till a week today!

Just had a look on their website, its more or less the same stuff Aldi used to stock, eg their selection packs. Ive already said Im going to get the £12.99 box to go towards my birthday fireworks as Ive had them before and they were the best! I looked for them again the next year and they wernt selling them any more. Thinking of buying a cheap pack of rockets too.
