i wasn't aware there was a curfew on the use of fireworks and obviously no-one around here is either, they routinely let them off in the early hours.

In fairness it was a pretty badly worded petition but all respect to the family bringing it, I feel for the loss of their dog but agree with you P, a ban was never going to happen

ETS - Apologies if it was personal to you

No it wasnt personal to me

THis Government is crap at everything, if they can't get it right about Iraq, they decide to ban hunting because it is cruel, but allow calves to be exported live to the continent, how can they know their arses from their elbows. They don't give a stuff about animal welfare or they would be doing something about this.

Not had your Ovaltine again, pedantic?

And that is a very well worded petition, so it just goes to show that regardless of how well or badly written a petition is, if the government aren't interested, they aren't interested. Perhaps there needs to be a similar petition from every constituentcy in the UK?
