I know what you mean,

I just put a Fiery-Eye through the neighbours letter box and they had
the cheek to come round our house and moan about it.

That cost me 15 quid the cheeky sods.

Last year my next door neighbours got really annoyed with us because it was our last "big cake" firework of the night and they came complaining it was too loud and they argued that they were gunna call the police because the debris of fireworks were all over there driveway and fallin on top of there cars... we couldnt help that... but we offered to clean it up afterwards... but we really dont get on with them next door... people shouldnt spoil others having fun and thats what they did... ok i would understand if it was after hours letting off fireworks but this was around 8pm... people like that should get a life... this year we had to put a note thru there door to let them know which day we having fireworks on... what is the country coming to!! NEIGHBOURS FROM HELL!!

if you were following the 25m safety rule (which includes all directions_) debris shouldnt have been an issue so i would be pretty miffed off too, if you let them know beforehand it may have been a bit better....allowed them to move their car, etc. we have people living next door with a young girl, knocked on to make sure they were pok with us firing (about 9PM and we have echo bombs ) , they said no probs & thanks for asking, the little girl is asleep but will sleep through it, i chose not to fire anyway because it is rather late, got back from an organised display later than planned.

point im trying to make is that you could have warned them beforehand, especially if using cakes that spread fallout on neighbours property which is within the 25m limit.

Yeh because a mate of mine let off a cake and some big stuff damaged someone elses property and got sued for the damage had to pay them I always let off my rockets so any debries lands away from any houses greenhouses cars etc.

I would respect your neighbours mine went through world war 2 so he herd bangs all day and night

I have lots of space, but thats due to living in the middle of nowhere!

I had my mother calling me to the window after my awesome 10minute madness was over. It was the old lady from next door!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ALthough she has sometimes been quite annoying and whiny (her husband is sound), she wanted to congratulate me on the best display she has ever seen. Plus if I was planning on doing one for the opening of 2012 then she would like to contribute and come around

Otherwise for me there were some OOOh's and AAAAh's from further down the lane, glad I kept people entertained.

Such a shame.

I have neighbours of 92 and 87 and they love the displays I do. His brithday is around this time, he's half deaf and can't walk far, but when I tell him I'm doing a display he wraps up warm, gets out his deck chair and video camera and records the whole event.

He then transfers to video tape (very wobbly footage) invites me round for a cup of tea and tells me stories of how and reminises on the past and the old days of bangers! Last year his wife complained the show was much quieter than normal - when I told her regs required less bang - she complained that people shouldn't interfere with what is a bit of good British fun...

I will miss the day that they are no longer around!

Finished the rest of my fireworks tonight at my sisters house, the last cake of the night was wild horses......well the neighbours mustn't have liked it because shortly afterwards they sent an egg over the fence......I was fuming and ready to retaliate but I've got a better idea...... Next year will have to use TWO wild horses together instead
