Foprgot to mention about the fireworksd, we had many left over so yesterday I went to 3 different to look at fireworks, aldi & tescos hold the most interest.
Aldi - the 2 people asked for ID etc, said I don't look old enoguh so I said you have to be 18 to have a debit card now.
They kept on dithering & dithering over the packet of rockets I wanted. I paid for it - fine, yet they kept on dealing with evrybody else after me, I waited 10minutes, I'm patient but I see sense & what people are trying to play, the store was remarkibly quiet at this point & the woman said I better make that phone call & I looked a little sheepish at her & said thats cool, the bloke said I can have a refund if I want, I asked why are they dithering & pushing for a refund, I just handed my recipet & he did it right away, wierd behaviour so I went to tescos on the way home.
The same thing - dithering & waiting, I asked if the waiting was to put me off & quite suprisingly the young lady said thier trying to put people off buying them & this mgiht be the last year they will sell them, I said oh back to the commie games, the young guy had a sense of humor & I could see him trying not to laugh, I sadi there goes my plany for recreating the gunpowder plot, obviously a joke I got no eomtion so I left & just got my things & went.
Proof that this UK is going don the rabbit hole of no return, its my freedom to enjoy fioreaorks, not at some crappy display now ehre inanae music is played & the ohhs & ahhs are piped in, crap as...
The best dispaly I went to when I was about 14 I think, we went to one near wimbledon & no music, no scraming kids, it housed the loudest bang I eevr rememebr, it gave rise to my indaian jones fantasys of escaping the na#is & seeing them blown up in some indy type set peice. with me falling over indy style & saying "damn - erm I didn't eman to do that" still...
