o/t fireworks...

[redgreggie]

yes, it's that time of year again...

was in bed yesterday and there was this almighty loud BANG, they never made them that loud when I was a kid, otherwise half of the old uns in Dronfield Woodhouse would have sh1t themselves...

so, I got over the 'fright' and thought...

Penny Bangers, Catherine Wheels & Roman Candles...them were days..

and air bomb repeaters...Great days.

We used to make "genies"..When a banger dint go off...Split it in half, pour all the gun powder out into a little pile and light it with a match..Making sure you got yer face out of the way...Phoooffff...That's all it was..

But when you were about 12 years old it was like a big bomb going off...

Imagine kids doing that in this day and age..They wouldn't be satisfied til they'd blown up a building...

God bless the Genie...
