Fireworks at 11:30pm on a Sunday night...

Yes, it's a little annoying but if it's a one-off then I would just live with it. You're lucky you don't live up here at the moment - the tattoo is on so I can set my watch by the 9pm jetplane flyover, followed by the fireworks at 10.30pm and the additional midnight set on Saturdays - will be glad when it's September

Marisco - No, I'm a good 250 miles away from the Olympic Stadium. Come on now, give me some credit. Do you really think I'd be asking the question if I lived near there?!

Con - I too thought 11:30pm was a little bit unsociable which I why I posed the question.

Don't get me wrong - I'm no party-pooper. Fireworks are great at Bonfire night or New year. I quite like them at Christmas too and actually had some at my wedding last year (June). However, that wasn't a Sunday night and it wasn't at 11:30pm.

I just wondered what other people's opinions were

They probably only lasted a few minutes so didn't keep you awake all night ! It sounds like a one off so just get over it.

Where I am, there's a HUUUGE firework display at 10pm on Thursdays in August.... nice to sit in the living room and just watch it all out of the window. I timed it, it goes on for 11 minutes. Might actually go outside this week and sit on the beach to watch it (except then I'll get stressy about where the rockets are landing).

I love them, there is something really magical to me about them. The night the Olympic torch came to Cambridge we got out of bed to have a watch of the firework display from our window. We get them a lot. I live near a big open space with lots of events and then a lot of the colleges seem to have them at their Summer Balls. I think fireworks tend to equal happy times and it's better than drunk people, or sirens, both of which we also get a lot of at that time of night.

We have jets most of the year, flying very low over our house. Got used to it now.

I would ignore the fireworks if it's a one-off. You complaining is only going to cause tensions with the neighbors.
