How much longer will this year's fireworks night last? Ever since Friday November 2, the Patcham area has been subjected to night after night of howling, screaming fireworks.

My fine fearless dog has been reduced to a hyperventilating whimpering wreck in spite of our best efforts with medication and a "safe hiding place" for him.

It seems obvious to me that commercial interests are seeking to extend Guy Fawkes' night for as long as possible.
