COULD somebody please explain why there were fireworks being let off until after 11.30pm on Sunday, July 8?. They were also going off until after 11pm on Saturday evening.

I have two children, aged 13 and 15, who found it very hard to get up on Monday morning. One had a school exam and the other was on work experience.

Neither teacher nor employer were impressed with my children yawning all day.

I dread to think what it was like getting younger children up. Whoever arranged this event can't possibly have children and certainly didn't seem to care about anybody else's.
