sorry kidkruger but its not just one night, we have been hearing them go off since fri, and last week or week before there was diwali which was another evening of them going off all night.


It will stop after tonight though so just have to bear with it for a few more hours susan, It is hard with small children though, I have 3yr and 8 month old who are usually sound asleep by 8pm and have only just gone off, really hard as I work from home in the evenings when they go to bed and ive basically given up trying since fri as i only just seem to get going and some lound bangs disturbs one of them!


ive just faced facts that after tonight hopefully order will resume.

If it was for one night okay, but it isn't. What's more, people don't seem to do their back garden stuff until 12-1 in the morning....why? I can almost guarantee there'll be more tonight too. It is never one night, for years now it goes on night after night. Don't care if it's Diwali, Guy Fawkes or Bill's Big Birthday- if you are going to let off fireworks it'd be real neighbourly to finish by 10-11pm.

How sad that, amongst certain members of the ED community, "bah humbug" isn't just for Christmas...


Guess what? Thousands of other ED residents don't have kids that demand a Blitz-like lockdown after 7pm. My 2-year-old was enjoying fireworks until 10pm last night, surrounded by family and loved ones. No doubt you think Social Services should be called?!


P.S. You were right about there being more fireworks tonight: at my gaff. Drop me a PM and I'll send you an invite. You never know, you might enjoy yourself.

edits to add - they go on for ages, people are enjoying them, children can watch or sleep through them I've found

Just echoing dicey, LadyDeliah, Kid Kruger, ultrauk. I actually saw this thread last night and thought it's only 10pm on actual bonfire night and someone is already complaining!!!! stop moaning and chill out, the world doesn't change and shouldn't change just because you have a baby!!!

My kids saw fireworks last night and later were worried about being able to sleep, but I made sure they'd had a big day (Barbican matinee, Museum of London, park, then big dinner and fireworks) so regardless of what they thought they'd be out like a light.

It's more realistic to manage what you can within the landscape than try to change the landscape via a Internet thread I find.

I'm sure such things are passed-on through genetic coding.. the adults who complain about fireworks going on late have children who don't like the fireworks going on late, who in-turn will surely grow into the adults who complain about the fireworks going on late.



'Our kid' slept soundly through the lot, of course and I can't say they bother me. Makes a pleasant change from the sounds of sirens and drunken shrieking.

Then why are they going off again tonight? Like someone else said in an earlier post, it's been going on since diwali, and really it isnt't fair to expect entire neighbourhoods to 'just grin an bear it'. Some kids will sleep through it, and a fair few will not, and repeated nights of not being able to get proper sleep can turn into weeks of not being able to sleep...agony for the kids, agony for the parents.


Onve a year? One looks forward to it. Once a year for 2 weeks? One does not.

      Niko the Plumber.

      By busymama · Posted

      Niko is my go to plumber - he's always friendly, reliable and very good at thinking outside the box for finding solutions. He did have his phone stolen recently and was on a brick phone, so if you tried Whatsapping him, he won't have received it yet but he should have a new smart phone by now. He always gets back to you promptly and is full of good advice and always up for a chat 🙂 Niko - 07818 607583 -  highly recommended!

      Another recommendation for Niko. He arrived in 10 minutes of me calling him and successfully fixed my annoying dripping tap! He did mention a problem with his phone, think it was stolen, but he is now available on 07818 607583

      GALA 2025

      By first mate · Posted

      Well, what a huge surprise! So, while the council digs up local footpaths to plant trees and 'green' the roads, it simultaneously offers up our parkland to private hire for a further extended period of annual damage.  It is hard to see from the map, but it looks as though the footpath that was formerly available to walk along the length of the event site of old will now also be partially used up by the new footprint, it looks like it will be partly roped off? I love how the final council report advise that 'while locals will be unable to use this nicer part of the park for a month ( and actually much of summer as it all gets churned up and has to be reseeded) that this is fine as they can just use the Common instead.    It feels wrong that the nicer part of the park is given over for festival use. I do not buy that, as has been stated, the Common is just not big enough for the Gala event.

      Thames Water - water meters

      By malumbu · Posted

      No sympathy, collect rain water, reuse grey water from the house.  Plant drought gardens.  Have yellow grass in the summer, it will turn green again,.  Not sure why on earth we have this term hard working families - suggests that everyone else is lazy.  Kids cost money and that can continue until they are well into adulthood!  You make your own choices, and it is right that if you use more water you pay more.  I expect most of us have cut our water usage since going onto a meter.
