As the first of the 'November 5th' fireworks are let off in the garden
adjoining my property this evening (and other bangs have been heard from
further afield), I was wondering what (if any) regulations are in force over
the letting off or possession of fireworks etc this time round?

Much as I would like to see domestic sales banned, I doubt they will, so do
any more recent regulations cover the domestic possession of or the setting
off of fireworks in residential areas?

I seem to recall that last year there was a little bit of media coverage
concerning tightening up sales and what have you, but there seems to be
little of that this year, indeed, we've just had a "Fireworks Direct" named
store open in our neighbourhood!
