Tescos and it policy on fireworks,what I am going to do this week

Bit of a miserable post if they re not selling them how will they get left with loads !!!
I have always been against garden fireworks and believe only in well secured town events When my kids were young our local fire station always did a great display with jacket potatoes hot drinks soup and snacks to buy that’s where we went
Very safe

What is Tesco's policy on fireworks?

Think OP means they won’t sell them next year if they get left with loads this year.

One of my best memories is going to a firework display at our local RAF camp when I was about 10. Great fireworks and lovely soup. I seem to recall the Crystals singing ‘Then He Kissed Me’ over the loudspeaker.

It seemed a magical evening to me as a child.

Well, of course they won't sell next year what they cannot sell this year whether it is fireworks or corsets, that is why theydo not go bankrupt.

I expect Tesco will do well selling fireworks. Some other large chains, Sainsbury for one, aren’t selling them this year.

The noise around here on Friday was unpleasant. Huge loud bangs, like explosions, at the conclusion of a long display. I’m fortunate none of my dogs over many years has been distressed by them. But some animals and some people are very disturbed, including former service personnel. I’m a but of a misery guts, I’d like to see only organised firework displays. With my Halloween, bonfire night and various religious festivals, it’s October - mid January here

DH and I were reminiscing about fireworks day when we were young, and how many people were maimed by them.

We lived in a tenement block, everyone bought a few and contributed to a display which was held in the backdoor. It was such a popular event, but I suspect not very safe!
What I found strange was that, despite claiming she could hardly feed us, my mum could always find money to purchase them. It still puzzles me to this day.

At the weekend, we went to a Halloween parade and fireworks display in the local park, well organised by the Council and so much safer. A real family event,

I love a few fireworks in the garden.

we aren't allowed to have them because of the thatch in the village but the place behind us has a massive display several time a year anyway, so we are hardly hard done by

Very lucky here, no fireworks until 1 am, in fact no fireworks at all. Caring neighbours, small children and dogs. Neither I’m sure will feel denied.

We used to go to India almost every year for our holidays and saw firework displays frequently.

One year we went to a different hotel that didn't have as many stars. We had our dinner outdoors and then the young waiters set up a firework display. I got an uneasy feeling and said I wanted to go somewhere else. We found out next day that a firework had bounced off a wall and landed on our table!

Looking forward to the display in Poole on Friday. We’ve had many garden displays in years gone by.

I don't think fireworks should be commercially available at all far less being sold by mainstream supermarkets. Fair enough have them for large organised displays for those that like that sort of thing but ban them otherwise. The nation's pets would thank for it.

I don't agree with fireworks being sold by supermarkets to be bought by anyone, far too dangerous.
I remember going to big organised displays in Crystal Palace Park which were set to classical music. I think these were put on by the local Round Table.

I've also seen them in Lidl and Aldi here. I suppose l am biased against them because our dog along with my other friends pets are terrified of them. They started here over a week ago. We have the radio really loud and the TV up loud trying to drown out the noise of the fireworks. I don't know what the neighbours must think.
I do think organised displays are the only safe way to go. They won't be banned, the supermarkets make huge profits from them.

Our local Morrisons is selling fireworks to people who want to risk maiming themselves whilst goggling at pretty lights, terrifying pets and wildlife and blowing plastic waste and chemicals all over the countryside.

When will we enter the 21st century and have organised displays only? That is what they do in Australia, I'm sure no-one suffers deprivation as a result. Meanwhile, yobbos in towns and cities continue to set them off in the street and the injuries, fires and traumatised animals continue year after year.

??????????????

I agree they should not be sold to the general public. Locally there have been fireworks set off every night for the last week and will, no doubt, continue until after next weekend.

Some consideration should also be given to the pollution caused by fireworks. An American study showed that 4th July fireworks released 42% more pollutants into the air than on an average day. They also contain oxidisers (to create the oxygen required for the explosion) which dissolve in water, polluting rivers and lakes.

I very much doubt that OP’s one woman (?) stand will make one jot of difference to what Tesco do. I have just placed my online order as usual.

If everyone did as the OP did and publicised it online etc it could make a big difference. For evil to prevail it requires only good men to do nothing!
I'm certainly avoiding Tesco now. I didn't know they were selling fireworks so thanks to the OP for mentioning it.

I was just on a local site and yet again(happens every year) a Brit asking why they cannot buy fireworks and why does Belgium not "do" bonfire day.
Says a lot for History lessons in UK schools.

You've just given them free publicity, so they might get more customers for their fireworks now that people wanting to buy them know which supermarket is definitely selling them.
