    Oh and, do your Hayleys Comets comply to BS7114? Just wondering, because mine said something like BS7889 _pale_ I hoped it was just a typo,but was scared to death when lighting the fuse. Luckily no one was killed. LOL.:p
    Probably just a label misprint;these things are printed in China where the fireworks are produced!

    PICS! Got some rockets too & a TON of cakes :D Have heavily overspent but the deals are too good to pass up on - anyone live near Stourbridge or Coleshill -> GET DOWN THERE :j

    Barnett Hill - DY9 0EE

    Melbicks - B46 3HY

    Selection box is huge and mighty heavy, I'd say 8 - 10KG's guesstimate, comes with a 96 shot cake thrown in too! Pretty sure I got the last one of these but there were some similar but slightly smaller boxes & plenty of rockets & cakes :D

    Rockets were £4.50 per pack, quite large and have a fully loaded head to about 10mm from the top - one cap was loose so I snapped a pic inside if it helps :D

    Haha! You have got some brilliant deals there :D!

    Wish I lived a bit closer (well I dunno actually because I can imagine how much I would over spend in there)!!

    Are you putting any pics of the cakes on? haha would be nice to see! Your going to have a brilliant bonfire night with all this stuff, you will have to upload a pic of everything you have if possible :P
