Its nearly 'Bonfire Night' or 'Guy Fawkes Night' here in the UK, but apparently some countries are not allowed to sell fireworks to the general public....is that true?

I think N.Ireland aren't allowed fireworks. Prob something to do with the IRA. What I don't understand is why bonfire NIGHT lasts about a FORTNIGHT...gets bit annoying.

Some places hold the 'organised' events so that the general public dont have to buy fireworks. But here in Cardiff the city's main fireworks display was last night on Friday night...but bonfire night isn't until Tuesday. I can understand organisers wanting to get more people in on the weekend, but 5 days earlier....??!?! I have fireworks, but I'll keep them until the 5th

In the UK, Bonfire Night is on the 5th, but where I live it started middle October. Every couple of seconds some retard is letting them off because they just can't wait.. in fact lots of retards. Why have tradition if you're not going to stick to it???

Fireworks and little things like them are allowed in my (US) state to most all ages - if you're old enough to go shopping - year round. And it happens year round, at bizarre hours of the night.
