minder Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Just heard another round of fireworks going off, first lot started 10.15 then another lot 10.20 now a third bout.Very loud coming from the Dog Kennel Hill area. Why can't people keep it early on a weekday?I'm a night person anyway so still up reading papers, doing paperwork, on EDF but it must be so annoying for families with young children.

ratty Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 It was annoying. What sort of #**# thinks that it is acceptable to do that? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/26747-more-fireworks/#findComment-592389 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaw74 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 It was Diwali yesterday (Hindu celebration). Also known as the festival of light so a few fireworks get lit!

charlottekb Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Divali was Tuesday. Not last night and even if it was I would have thought 10.30 would have been a bit of a late inconsiderate time to set fireworks off in a residential area!

Shaw74 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 It actually goes over 5 days so maybe expect a few more fireworks. Also the law specifically states that fireworks can be set off up to 1am on certain festivals including Diwali.

ratty Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Regardless of the law, manners surely dictate that 10:30 and later on a Wednesday night is a shit time to be making loads of noise with fireworks? There are lots of people wo young families in this area.Or should this not matter?

However, they are rarely on my fooking doorstep like they were last night.Are you trying to subtley accuse me of being pissed off about these fireworks because they may have been in celebration of Diwali instead of new year? pray tell, cos I thnk you are!

minder Posted November 15, 2012 Author Share Posted November 15, 2012 But garnwba the fireworks the mayor has in London are not really in a residential area. My point is that couldn't the fireworks have been set off earlier, especially on a weekday. Asking me if it's different because it's Diwali doesn't come into it, as I know what Diwali is and when it is.

uncleglen Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 I reckon if you let off fireworks on every religious festival, and other celebrations (isn't it USA Thanksgiving this week as well?) they would be going off every night and polluting the air even more than it is already!
