So, last night, November 5th, and in honour of such an occasion the Landlord of our local, Derek, decided that he would like to ‘blow shit up’ and ’show the rest of them they’re wimps’… and so, after clubbing together a few mates and a few quid, Derek managed to obtain the grand total of some 327 fireworks. Not content with this, the decision was to let them all off as quickly as possible. With 2 lads behind the wall, and Derek in front of it with hat, pint, cigarette and fireworks in hand. Fawcett Road was closed by the Police because of falling debris, and the neighbour wasn’t impressed when the sparks hit her washing… aside from that it was all a huge success, and just so you don’t miss out, there’s a video here of a couple of minutes of it… you’ll have to excuse the odd look down, Jim did need to give his pint some attention too!
