That's not completely terrible, for the money not bad really. Can you remember which ones they were? (pic below) I did grab a pack in the end but haven't heard great things about them since.. Two of them called, "Big Crackles Rocket" state "Monster Bang" on the head, was it these?? (Mind you, two smaller ones also claim monster bangs too..)

Cheers for the vid

Today's trip was quite comical. Sat nav took me completely wrong direction from the start them put me back, so what should of been a 20 mins trip, turned into an hour!

When I enquired I was told what you see is all we have. So after a couple of mins thinking have I got the wrong place, I asked about some cheaper fireworks that a friend had purchased. Well I then became simons best friend. Asking me if we are going to put them all together and do a huge display and generally just digging. 4 members of staff was chatting and the deputy manager (forgot his name) said I hope he's not after commission Although you clearly should be

Shame as most were out of stock now. Only half list posted earlier was available, and I took a few last ones. I post exactly what I had a bit later, but just wanted to thank you very much. I'm well pleased, now I'm home just wish i'd picked up a few more!. x

Here's a pic of a Glittering Gemstones & Jumping Jelly Beans side by side, probably not much use now as the Garden Centres seem to be drying up on the Kimbolton stuff but it shows the sizes nicely :cool:

Haha, you have to get a pic on before bonfire night

Hope you get what you want from Lidl, they do look very good fireworks, Ive had weco in the past when Aldi used to stock them and they were always great then! Just to note though, if you havnt already been make sure that they offer the 2 for £12 offer, when we went they said £13.98 (well was more like 45.98) at first for the 2 cakes so we just mentioned they were on 2 for £12 and they got it sorted

I would just go for Fire Fighter! You mightn't be able to get weco next year if no-ones stocking it so get as much as you can while you can!

Edit- I must say I love your signature and I totally agree, that comes after my firework addiction!

Perhaps I can tempt you with loads of christmas then? Just saw this AMAZING snowing christmas tree in The Range.. but hey.. that's another thread

P.S Ignore the background in my photograph, it's my mums house!! :rotfl:
