This is my first input on this thread. Why do people think it is so unreasonable for people to want to be in an area without kids?


I hope to be a parent in the not too distant future, and when that day comes I'm sure I will be loking for a place where I can take mini Keef and have a pint. However, I will also be hoping that there are places I can get away from the sound of kids on the odd occasion I get a break.


I do think no children areas is an idea which just wouldn't work. However, I can't stand the view that someone who wants to keep a few child free places for grown ups to have a beer in peace, is a child hating git.

This is such a ridiculously over repeated and unneccessarily fractious thread topic.


In short it's like telly. If you don't like reality tv, don't watch it when it's on. If you're strangely in the mood for repeats of Dempsey and Makepeace then slap on a bit of uk gold for half an hour.


We all know what places and what times are prone to lots of bugaboos, and which ones aren't. Something for everyone in this fair townlet and environs of ours.

Reasonable and moderate policies in my view and already on the Manifesto of my newly-formed King Herod Childcare Foundation (motto: Infanticide - A Cure For The World's Ills) .............JUST JOKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • I completely agree with you - and last night was really terrible where I am. Between midnight and 1am was the worst, where it genuinely felt like a war zone. I had to run out of my house to try and stop a grown man setting them off in open space right by our front doors. In response he went to throw a half lit one at me and then seemed to think better of it. I am so sad at how bad the situation has got here and how selfish people are. Fireworks are bad for the environment and for pets and wildlife, as well as just being unnecessary noise for people too. I have sent an email today to Helen Hayes, which I have done previously on this issue. Would advise anyone to write to your MP to do the same, and to ask them to engage with the debates scheduled for 19 Jan. 
    • And they started long before midnight!
    • First mate - I wondered if I was imagining things at 4.45 this morning . Apparently not .
    • The Dutch are addicted to New Year fireworks and spent €130million this year on them. However,  sales to individuals will be banned as from this year and celebrations will be organised by local and city councils. I have Dutch friends and for them, this can’t come soon enough. However, at least there it’s concentrated  on one night. Here, it’s never ending, any excuse to make a noise is seized upon with gusto. In addition to the annual celebrations, add birthdays, weddings, engagements, divorces, christenings, BBQs, etc etc. I dare say you can funerals to that list as well. Yesterday it started mid-afternoon and just carried on until the early hours. In the past, I’ve been woken up at 4am. Anyyone who doesn’t like it can go hang and you can ignore completely the  effects on people’s animals and wildlife. Don’t hold your breath about anything being done here, however.
