Walking to work today and what should I see but a spent "Penny banger"! Odd I thought they went off market when?!? But it was dry and cold so only a few hours old.
The wrapper says;
Garden firework,
Danger do not hold,
See pack.........ions,
then gives a company name and half a postcode.
No mention of BS.....
Are they really very old stock??
Get there before Bill and Hse friends arrive!

Thats ace! Bangers went off the market in 1997, I think, along with mini rockets and cracker strips.
Not sure how long ago Penny bangers went off the market, though!
Is the company still active? I think all the old british companies that produced bangers now only exists as brand names, owned by other companies (Standard, Benwell, Astra etc.)

I don’t think the individual bangers had the "complies with BS" ect written on them only the wording you described, any chance of a picture?
