It is also interesting that JTF fired "a selection" of their range at their demo nights. OK, time is a factor- but given that this is nominally a wholesaler- selling to people to sell on in their own shops- it seems unusually that they wouldn't try to showcase the whole range.

has anyone actually seen their range for sale in anyone elses shops??

Yeah- Newsagent type shops, but only a couple. To be honest, if I was a retailer I wouldn't sell it - not least because so many people have JTF cards and just buy it direct from JTF.

the big red one you are talking about would be up there with all the overdressed rogue fireworks. Basically its just a few of menshuns candles fused together with lots and lots of empty space. Compared to say 888 by brothers it is twice the size but only offers a similar performance. tbh i think 888 is better. Which if you shop around you can pick up at £16.50 (no hidden vat to add either).

£16.45 INCL vat :-) at a place near me or £22.50 in my local seasonal shop

btw anyone wanting cheap fireworks for new years eve should keep thier eyes on JTF as last year they sold everything off after the GFN season for silly money

I had to laugh, a friend of mine (who runs a playgroup/after school club) was in JTF , and asked if they has a box of 12 pencil cases. The sales person looked at him and said "eh, what do you want 12 for?"

A remarkable reply given that JTF is nominally a wholesaler!
