Please be honest if you disagree with me I have just been watching the fireworks in London at the London eye while it lovely I can’t help thinking what a lot of money gone up in smoke when we have got high bills food banks rail strikes need I go on. I’ve said my peace all I’ll say is happy new year to everyone

dont worry it probably came from the khan slush fund


ie ULEZ trap

Loads went off here tonight - nothing to do with ULEZ :-D
Me, not being in London.

I'm sure all the fireworks that went off here in London couldn't have helped air pollution, a bit two faced :-0.

I don't really like fireworks, can't cope with the bangs, so I've always thought that fireworks in volume are a waste of money. And although we watched them on TV last night, I was bored before the end.

I was just thinking of all those families that were finding hard to pay the bills and having to go to food banks but it’s happening all over the world we are not on our own

I did wonder how many of the fireworks in London were proper fireworks and how many were laser type electronic graphics. ( a light show type).

We looked out over the town where I am staying and the fireworks seemed much brighter and defined.

I too watched the London fireworks, we can see them from our bedroom window. We both made the comment about the cost, how it could have been spent on food and getting people off the streets. :-0

I watched it this morning on YouTube as I was preoccupied with Ralphie :-0 <3

I too thought it did go on rather too long at the end of the day once you've seen one firework you've seen them all. I did like the Spice Girls bit and the drones too. I was reading an article about the drones and it said you had to have fireworks as that gives them time to get the drones in place for their next sequence :-)

I agree the money could have been better spent but I suppose as midnight comes to each major city around the world there is a firework display so I suppose it is expected :-) Shame really because there are causes in each country that could do with extra money :-0

I have to say that when Big Ben makes that first dong I find it rather emotional :-)

Am I just getting old or are fireworks getting so much louder these days? Here it's not legal to do your own fireworks for New Years only go to organized displays but of course that didn't stop anyone! I wouldn't mind but they started at 7 as I was walking the dog who hates them, I was expecting them at Midnight!

I agree with you
All that money up in smoke when the world is in turmoil .
:-(

I thought the local fireworks were quite subdued, until daughter arrived. She lives the other end of the village and said they were long and long at that end. My son, who lives in a nearby town, said it was horrendous around his area.
